The thinking is that the threads on the special tool save wear and tear on
the crank threads.

I'm thinking the bolt is not quite long enough to pull it from the
start. So what is a mallet going to hurt?

According to Bills website the regular bolt is too weak and short, I'm
guessing it isn't long enough to get enough bite into the threads to
pull the balancer in.

This afternoon I found a couple of longer bolts at Lowes and I'm going
to give them a try.

I'll let everyone know how it turns out.

Thanks!
