If you have the angle meter by all means use it. You can get away without it
The main thing is to position the dampner on far enough before you start the torque procedure. If you use a ARP balancer bolt you will make life alot easier.

As for the actual install of the balancer I can help you with
My install tool.

Hawk, I considered using the ARP balancer bolt vs. a new GM bolt but the cost difference is hard to justify, especially when everyone says the OEM bolt is sufficient. Now you've got me curious again, what is it about the ARP bolt that makes life easier?

Thanks,
Mike

It's reuseable vs the Oem
One step torque process, put it in and torque it down. No degree requirement.


Your point well taken. I just felt it was a cost I would recover
with time spent on future mods. And chasing down a new balancer
bolt.
