Just wondering how everyone goes about doing up the harmonic balancer bolt without the crank spinning?

You bolt it where the starter mounts. The bellhousing can stay on.

In a stick I put the car in 4th and put the e-brake on. 4th being a direct connection between input and output shafts. If the driveline can take 400+ftlb of tq against my steady 230ft lb I think it will be just fine. Works every time. Just need a BIG *** torque wrench.

Hey I just read about another option to keep the crank from rotating when removing the old crank bolt and installing the new crank bolt.
This works on a Gen5 Camaro with a 6 speed manual transmission:

Put the car in 4th gear
Set the park brake
Chock the tires to keep them from rolling

Sounds like a reasonable procedure.

Vendor For A Crank Torque-to-Yield Bolt

I found the crank torque-to-yield bolt a couple of places:
Speed Engineering - GM LS3 Harmonic Balancer Bolt - $12.09 + shipping
GM Parts Direct - Bolt 11570046 - $7.59 + shipping
GM LS3 Harmonic Balancer Bolt M16 X 2 X 125.75mm - $12.09 + shipping

Anyone have a vendor for this crank torque-to-yield bolt they trust and recommend?
