LSx Harmonic Balancer Install Tool

That is awesome.

Since you can't reuse the crank bolt (torque to yield) - I took the old one and welded it to my Summit standard balancer pulley tool that I have used on Gen I and Gen II small blocks for years.

With that threaded on, I was able to use the rest of the bearing plate and parts that come in a standard HBP kit.

It also works to removed it

The hard part with these is getting the massive amount of degree torque to install the new bolt correctly. If not tightened correctly it will come out and the balancer will slip.

I know, even with the ARP bolt the instructions say to use the old stock bolt and tighten to an insanely high torque, then install the ARP bolt with a dab of thread locker and it only calls for a mild ammount of torque.
