I have been doing it the cave man way until today! There is four holes in thew balancer for the tool to hold it while you loosen the bolt. Its on there good...

This is the front side. Had to drill 4 holes for bolts then a big hole in the middle for the socket to go through.....

Then I had to extend it 4 inches so it would hit the frame. Had to cut the aluminum angle bar off one side, That took me 30 minutes, LOL 1/4" high grade aluminum. then I drilled some holes on one side and drilled and tapped the other to cut down on mass, and it worked GREAT........Back side
