Thread: Harmonic balancer.

According to to MR, no. As long as the original bolt appears in good nick, use it again. The bolt is not a stretch type.

I think you have to replace it as it an high tensile bolt and torqued up to 429nm I think, so it's $40 for an new one so your better off doing that and doing it right the first time

A new bolt is an absolute must. They stretch with single use. My balance pully came off because the previous owner reused his bolt.

$40 for a bolt!!!!! Measure and gauge it then go to a fastener supplier. What is the diameter and pitch? Thread length and unthreaded length.

Think I have my old bolt still. You can grab it to measure up before you pull yours apart. PM me if you need. I’m south side of Brisbane.

Brian, which is the best bolt shop between here and there?
