Rick-
Hard to get to the bolt in the car, my spare is in the shop, an hour away.
In lieu of a better answer, the largest socket that will fit inside the
snout of the harmonic balancer is 1", & I believe that is the correct
size. No, I don't remember the torque setting to replace the balancer, but
I will find it- for the MGBV8, it was 150 ft lbs, think it is the same for
the Buick.
