saves extra work too.

But when taking the balencer off wouldnt you have to mark where it was on the crank so when you put it on the engine isnt out of balece? or does it not matter what way its put on?

If you have 5 speed, put it gear and apply the parking brake. An impact will work or just quick jerks. They are torqued to 92 ft-lbs IIRC so it may take a little force.
