and you might need to spin it around a little bit before you find the keyway there we go okay with the balancer installed it's time to reuse the original crank bolt so this is not a torque to yield bolt it's not a stretch bolt so we can reuse it but per the subaru instructions i added some oil here on the threads so we're not going to be using loctite on this one i've done that in the past on ls stuff and whatnot but according to subaru it's just engine oil so that's all i put on the threads but like every crank bolt we do need to torque this properly this one is NUMBER_TOKEN foot pounds so i've done more on other engines it's not too bad and we're gonna lock the engine the same way as we did before with our screwdriver right here and the flex plate so we will turn it until it jams up snug it up a little all right NUMBER_TOKEN foot-pounds should be a piece of cake almost there we go all right new balancer is done and this is where i had the screwdriver placed it was just resting against the block and then we just kind of jam it up against this bolt i've done this a bunch of times on many different engines no issues but there is a tool if you want to do this more properly that locks the flex plate in place but if you use a good quality screwdriver or pry bar it is not proper tool usage but it works and we'll just pop our cover back on and we're done and we got a brand new belt going on as well so i'll just slide this guy right over and now we have to adjust this mechanically there is no spring tensioner on this vehicle and all we're doing is turning this long bolt and that is pushing this pulley down to give this more tension so right now it's really loose we have quite a ways to go and you'll probably have to check this a few times this is still really loose and right about there this is where i like it so you got to kind of get the feel for this after a while but this belt shouldn't make any noise and it's not too tight to where it's going to start wearing out bearings on the accessories like this ac compressor all right then we're just going to tighten up this center bolt here for the pulley just like that and this job is done new balancer new belt almost forgot we have to swap over this sensor to the new power steering pump i don't have a little o-ring for that but luckily i have this master o-ring kit these can be a big lifesaver i'll leave a link for you down below i've had this for a few years don't need to use it very often but it comes in handy when you have a seal like this that's most likely dealer only it's hard to tell here but this is pretty flattened it might seal but this new one is going to work much much better and now we know our new power steering pump isn't going to have any issues especially with a leak from the back of it that wouldn't be fun all right so we'll go ahead and thread our sensor into the new pump and we're just going to tighten this guy up by hand this is not going to require a
