Default Mounting degree wheel to crank??

Is there a special nut that fits the LS1 crank to mount a degree wheel? Or do you just bolt it on with the old crank bolt? I'm concerned about being able to turn the crank forward/backwards without disturbing the position of the degree wheel. Anyone have trouble with this??

Thanks,

Craig

With the pulley off, I put the degree wheel over a used bolt, dropped on a big washer, and ran it in. I carefully centered the wheel (none of the adapters would clear the stock bolt) and then hit it with an impact. I turned it back and forth with a ratchet and socket without problems.

When I put the new pulley on, I had to elongate the holes in the wheel a bit as the radius of the small pulley was larger than the wheel. Then I put a socket on the bolt, put the wheel on with 3 short 5/16" bolts, and stuck an extension through the hole in the wheel. Again, no problems.
