Either get an install tool from one of the sponsors or get a threaded rod, a stack of washers and 3 or 4 nuts and press it on. DO NOT try to use your old balancer bolt to press it on. You may get lucky but most likely you will strip your crank threads.

Do yourself a huge favour....only install an ATI if going u/d. It will help the harmonics of your engine ten fold.
