Make sure you use a socket or something on the crank to keep from messing up the threads.. we took it off with a ratchet/socket with ease.

 

so i can use my impact??? im goin to use my 1/2" impact with 24mm socket< im talkin bout takin out the crank bolt!!

 

oh the ballancer bolt?
yea a impact will be fine, just make sure your careful when you put it back on..

get the ballancer on then tighten up the timing cover

I used my 12" socket wrench, itll come right out

I jammed a screwdriver in the flexplate so it wouldnt turn.
