Been trying to find a video to show how to install crankshaft pulley without letting it turn the shaft. And I gotta say this is the best one yet!

Underrated video and underrated technique.

"Serpent Time" thanks for video

Ghostly, your info and all your videos have set me at ease. One piece of info I haven't been able to find is if my crank bolt needs to be new. I've heard it's torque to yield. Do you know either way. Response would be greatly appreciated

[@ghostlyrich]

I would replace it if ones available. If you buy a arp one it never needs to be replaced but factory oem ones its best practice to

Impact gun...just make sure it's not strong enough to strip the crank bolt. Torque on the balancer isn't critical unless it's not tight enough and will spin with the accessories on. I usually warm up pulley and freeze the crank(compressed air can upside down) for easier installation. Zip on with impact and once up to equal temperature , the balancer will be grabbing onto the crank snout pretty tightly.

[@moparenthusiast2046]

Impact gun is not a good idea for tightening any bolts. Always use a hand tool, unless You don't care for the threads.

How did you know when to stop when you installed the harmonic balancer?

[@ghostlyrich]

I hit torque spec

[@TheOneShaneAdam]

Am I missing something? There is no footage actually installing a pulley, only torquing a bolt.

[@ghostlyrich]

Slide harmonic balancer on crank, thread bolt in to crank by hand to make sure you're not cross threading then torque it down

[@ghostlyrich]

So require a harmonic balancer kit if the factory bolt is not long enough it threads into crank then tie the nut down to press it onto the crank, can use silcone lube to lubricate threads. I like to use loctite on harmonic balancer bolt to lubricate threads. If your harmonic balncer has a key way or a notch make sure to line that up, pretty simple stuff

my motor is stuffed in a compartment...dark in there.

[@moisesramos476]

That's cool but to be realistic most people will be doing this while in the engine is in the car..

[@ghostlyrich]

Depending on the vehicle you’re working on you should still have access to the frame to attach it to the frame at some point on it

Good way to ruin your crankshaft and or new pulley… never ever put a ratchet strap on or with any pulley… good video, bad technique
