LS Engine Crankshaft Balancer

[tetomas]

Does anybody know if the balancer bolt on the LS engines is left hand thread, or right hand thread? Threw a rod in my work truck and need to get the balancer off so I can get the engine out of the engine bay. Tight fit is an understatement, I really do not want to pull the core support off so I need to get the balancer off.

Standard thread. Interference fit, you need a puller. Also, torque to yield bolt. One time use. But an ARP replacement. Use an installation tool for reassembly. They are not keyed, except in supercharger applications.
