    I don't have the budget for a $500 harmonic balancer, is there a way I can test it while it's off?

    Why was Winnie thinking it costs $500? Was @Winnie referring to the price of a genuine Nissan one from Nissan dealer?

    Ben isnt talking about that bit although that is incredibly dear. You want the dampener that bolts to it which is what I quoted.

    Just a quick fix for undoing the bolt. I used an impact socket with a breaker bar and a heavy bit of pipe. I wedged the breaker bar and pipe onto the concrete and briefly turned the ignition key to start. It cracked the bolt. This worked on the RB30, but it is a lot smaller than a TB or TD.

    To torque the bolt on an auto, place an old V belt on the harmonic balancer and twist it real tight with a bit of strong pipe. Slip a longer bit of pipe through and wedge it onto something solid.

    If done right, you should be able to torque the bolt to spec.
    My advice is: not to follow my advice.

    I've been doing the undoing and tightening both by putting it into first gear & combining handbrake or brake(lock the brake pedal using a jack) with it as well.

    Does that stress the gears too much??!!
    I'm thinking, using a rattle gun would also stress the gears(if it's in gears), would it not?

    It should come to around $200 with shipping. I think that's a fair price as oppose to over $500 here.

    Something's not right for a complete harmonic balancer to cost over five hundred bucks.

    Dunno, and dunno. I would never use a rattle gun on engine parts anyway. Having a manual I just chuck it in gear with the handbrake on and use the ratchet and then the torque wrench.

    Yeah, wouldn't use the rattle gun on it either, but I know mechanics do(or at least some of them do when they can squeeze in a rattle gun in there).

    The reason I asked 'cos I've never used the cranking method to loosen it, and for some reason felt uncomfortable with it, but I do know most guys use that method without any dramas.
    I just felt I'm the only one use the gear lock and breaker bar method to undo it.
