That bolt is torque to yield and requires a certain torque sequence. not replacing it with a new bolt risks the balancer spinning freely and damaging the crank shaft. I had one come loose years ago when a mechanic doing a motor swap for me failed to use a new bolt and the balancer rounded off a chunk of the crankshaft as well as the messing up the front cover seal. I ended needing a new crank. Is it worth the risk not replacing it? Also you could probably find one on ebay.de if your creative in your search and have it in less than a week.

If you don't want to use the GM TTY bolt you can pick up a ARP bolt. Use red loctite on the threads and their moly lube on both sides of the washer and be prepared to use a big *** breaker bar. I think its like 240 ft lbs or something stupid like that.

Big-*** breaker bar is not a problem, but how would I lock the crank? I tried locking one of torque converter's pad against ground, but at ~120lbs*ft whole nose starts to rise
edit: yes this was the balancer bolt ( how lucky I was to loose it at 40mph not 120

flywheel holding tool is needed for an auto car, for manual guys the e brake and 4th gear works.

His location shows as "Latvia" northern EU I believe. Does anyone have a Spec for this bolt? maybe he can get one locally, they do have cars there.

No problem, I'm ordering the bolt tomorrow and it will be here in about 11 days. As far as I remember service manual says 37lbs and then 140 degrees more, BUT before this OLD bolt must be installed with 240lbs*ft which is huge. Damn that's twice the torque typical Honda makes :O
I don't know, this whole "240lbs" thing looks stupid and crazy to me.
