Question Dampner Question?? Pics inside!!







Okay so I think I got the dampner on all the way can you guys confirm that it is on.. I torque the bolt is much as I can until the the dampner wanted to turn clockwise, felt like the pulley had resistance when I try'd to turn it more and I didn't want to break the original bolt.

You're not supposed to use the original bolt to torque it down. Looks like you got lucky though. Judging by the pictures, it's flush.

Its fully seated. Buy a pulley install tool next time. Your crank threads will thank you.
