use the old bolt first like the manual states, then proper torque for new bolt

330 Y
243 lb ft

Crankshaft Balancer Bolt New Bolt with Flanged Head (1)

150 Y
111 lb ft

•Second Pass
Loosen 360 degrees

•Third Pass
80 Y
59 lb ft

or

Thanks for the reply but I have that information. I'm looking for the part number of the balancer install tool. A universal balancer install tool won't work because the threads are to deep in the crank to catch.

Thanks! I'll order the J 41665 tool to install the balancer.
I don't need the J 41478 being the original one was never removed.

My kit came with a washer and bolt of correct thread and length, it was used to start the pulley on, and then I used the old crank bolt to finish pulling it on, then I torqued the new crank bolt appropriately.

I'll Google that bolt/nut parts numbers to see what I find.
I was also thinking this might work

I took some measurements of my installer if you just wanted to go the bolt-and-washer route. It's an M16 bolt with 2mm thread pitch with a fender washer.

It's just under 7" long with 2" worth of thread:
