I want to say mine was like a 3/4, its a big mother thats all I know haha. Just know if you are replacing it, the washer is like $30, I didn't even look into how much the bolt cost

^ will do man!! Does anyone know what size bolt that goes through the H. Balancer?

FWIW, Bolt size means the diameter of the threaded part of the bolt, (usually followed by the thread count). The hex part of a bolt for the same sized bolt can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.

Framda nailed it. You can have an m10 x 1.25 bolt with a 18mm head on it, because its something they want you to use a big wrench on to take off. More torque, sometimes they do the opposite, for something that doesnt need so much torque a smaller wrench is encouraged, so you don't break the bolts.

That's why we use certain sizes in the boats at work at least.

Crack the bolt loose with the belt still on, then take the belt off, then take the bolt out, then use a puller to take her off.

OK everyone removal and install was sucessfull and it cured my terrible vibration YYYAAAAAY!!! I also noticed then i gained some power, is it just in my from only feeling vibration for awhile or did i gain power back? I also used the bump method where you bump the starter with the torque wrench winched against a block of wood to break free the bolt!! thanks everyone for assistance and this is why i love the forum so many nice people to help :)

Also clearance issues might dictate a smaller hex head, or capscrew. Header bolts are the first thing that I can think of.

good point, I only said a few things though :)

John, you probably did gain some power back because the motor is operating how it should now.

Be careful on the lock for the flywheel. Use a tiny amount then stick it to her then pull them back so it spreads even then do your install torque. Had this problem last summer with the lock giving me a few lbs difference. Cause a nice vibration from 3500 up.
