The replacement engine I bought was rebuilt before I installed it. I did the rebuild work myself. I thought alot about how to get that nut back on to specs. I made my own counter hold tool using two long box end wreches, put a strong bolt through the end of the wrenches, with washers and nut, this attached them together, then bolted the the free ends into the balancer bolts to form a triangle. This was done after the engine was installed, used a jack stand to hold the wrenches from turning with the crank. Luckily a friend had a wrench to borrow. Worked like a charm.

Used the same set up but with two more bolts and nuts in the free ends to make a counter hold for the timing gears. Allowing the bolts to be longer to fit in the holes of the gears. Though for this the wrenches can be considerably smaller.
