I am new here and have been reading lots of previous threads about this harmonic balancer bolt. My $700 Montero had a loose bolt and it took out the sensor plate. I have been looking at the balancer and the bolt and I wonder if it's possible to safety wire that thing! I thought I'd bring this up and see what others thought. I think one could easily drill the head and two small holes in the side of the balancer and use some .032 wire. It would be tight to get it in there but do you all think it might help? I can't see that it would hurt! I am going to try it on the old parts I took off of mine with some .020 wire I have and see how it goes. Any opinions?
