like I said above, the rb26 bolt is 450nm (331lb), for some reason nissan has the rb25 one as 3 times looser (150nm)

I reccomend taking the radiator out. Makes removing the harmonic balancer alot easier and it will probably save your knuckles from a good skinning.

You can line up a torsion bar so that it's up against one of the rad supports or the ground even, and use the starter motor when cracking the big mofo bolt for the harmonic balancer... some people don't like to do that though..

As someone said, just line of TDC 1, and everything should be fine. Just check the markings about 50 trillion times before you put it all back together.

I thought it was supposed to be TDC 0?? that's where everything lines up for me.
