Anyone have a crankshaft sprocket installation tool I can borrow? If not I guess I’ll smack it on with a piece of pipe. ---

> [@8.1crew](#): > > just smack it, The sprocket should go on okay, but what about the balancer hub? That’s a pretty tight fit. Don’t want to beat on the crank too much. I think I’m going to buy some Grade B7 7/16"-20 all thread that I can thread all the way into the crank and use a graded nut/washer to press it on. I’ll just make my own tool! And maybe heat up the hub a little too. Some people just use the OE bolt to press it on and end up stripping the crank threads because there’s not much thread engagement at the start. ---
