After removing the old crank bolt and ensuring that the crank snout is recessed about 2 1/2-4 1/2mm into the bore in the balancer, the final step is to install the NEW SLP-provided GM crank bolt. Torque to 37 lb-ft, then put on a breaker bar with a torque angle gauge like this one from Snap-On (not properly zero'd here, you'll note). The bolt must be turned an additional 140 degrees. If you don't have a torque angle gauge, just draw some lines with a magic marker and watch them as you turn (140 degrees is about 3/8 of a turn). Though you will need to apply some real force to get the bolt to turn far enough, don't worry about stripping the threads in the crank snout-so long as most of the threads are engaged, they're not going anywhere!
