Default Harmonic balancer bolt help

I got a d16z6
And yesterday the harmonic balancer fell off
Got the woodruff key from Honda already
But is there anywhere else I can get the bolt
Cuz I forgot to get it and I need to drive the car till
I can go to Honda Tuesday
Already checked autozone etc
Is there any bolt size I can use or does it have to be the specific
One for that car
?
Thanks

I am 99.999995% sure that bolt is unique to the crank.

And you cant just go throwing anything in there and risk screwing up the threads of the crank.

You most likely won't find another bolt that'll fit and even it does, I wouldn't risk it.

If you have access to air tools, an impact gun is all you need.


Without air tools, a hex pulley tool will come in handy.
If you can't get one, you'll have to figure out a way to keep the crank
from turning as you torque the pulley bolt.

Take out the starter and get a 3 ft prybar on your flywheel to stop it from moving.

pull out your number one sparkplug and stuff about 6 feet of nylon rope down into your cylinder that will keep the motor from spinning. umm just make sure you leave some rope hanging out. have used that method on multiple occasions always works.

Tighten it more.

Happened to me with my alt belt, wedged a pry bar between the block and it, pry back.

It was a new belt, though.

Get it from Honda, #16 here --> http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/...N+-+CRANKSHAFT

^^ That bolt will work for D & B series.


I highly doubt you'll find this bolt at Autozone or any regular auto part store.

And as stated earlier in the thread, good luck finding a bolt at a hardware store
that will work.
