Naw they are just pressed (or hammerd....) on. There is a tool, just a long rod with bearing and bolt on it, that you can use to install it. Should be availible at local auto stores. As for the bolt, it is only a safety feature and not critical. I drove without one for quite some time and it was fine. On the flipside, having a bolt there is handy because it allows for one to turn crank to adjust timing and valves. |

When I first bought my '74 Dart Sport, the slant six was seized and I looked for a bolt on the front to try turning it over. Couldn't find one anywhere. When I did eventually rebuild the engine, I just used a puller to get the harmonic balancer/vibration damper off. Since the back of the hub had a slight groove worn into it from the front main seal (in the timing chain cover), I bought and installed a micro sleeve on the hub and "hammered" it back onto the crankshaft with a block of wood and a small sledge. Still doesn't have a bolt. Here's what my Hayne's repair manual says in the section about finding top dead center: "The preferred method is to turn the crankshaft with a large socket and breaker bar attached to the large bolt that is threaded into the front of the crankshaft. NOTE: There is no bolt in the front of the crankshaft on many six-cylinder engines, so you will have to get 3/4" x 16 threads-per-inch bolt that is about 1-1/2" or 2" long." Jerry |
