Default LS balancer installation tool?

What bal install tool is everyone using? I've got a blue point kit that won't work. Also I assume these are zero balance since there is no keyway....anyone?

Longer bolt with a big washer is what I use. Get it on far enough to finish up with the stock bolt.

Make sure you get the longer bolt to get it started, if you try and use the regular replacement bolt its to short and you can strip the the threads in the crank snout.

Correct, there is no balance to the crank pulley. I bought an installation tool from the tool section on LS1Tech a few years ago. The one I have is basically a piece of threaded rod and a nut. I noticed a different one there last week, looks pretty nice
