[s-cars] Crank Bolt From Hell (lessons learned)

[Southerlin, Russell S]

Yes I was going to go OEM on the pully.  About $70 is the best price I
have found from SJM.
 
Anyone have their Family Album handy and want to look up the crank bolt
P/N?
I am out of town and don't have the access to mine.

Answer:   It was highly recommended to me to get one from the dealer.  I
didn't listen I got one from Shokan's - but its worked out just fine so
far.  Also carefully check the four bolts holding the harmonic balancer.
Last summer a failure with one or more bolts caused me to do a top end
job - actually a  nice summer diversion but could be hell if that's your
only car or you do it in cold weather.   Regarding the balancer tool
3056? its great - borrow one.
 
Mark near Chicago sobering up for tomorrow.
