balancer bolt direction... need help ASAP!!
Is the balancer bolt a regular bolt? or does it go in the opposite way?

Its a regular bolt and its torque to yield, one time use only.

don't use a torque wrench to remove the bolt, you'll ruin the wrench

If you don't have a long breaker bar, put a piece of pipe ove the end of the one you have and make an extension. C you at Island . . .
