Fred,
I appreciate what you said, but I drove the balancer on by striking a large socket held against the hub, just as directed in the manual. I didn't strike the outer ring at anytime. In fact I only had about a 5 or 6 inch swing range, so it was a very slow and orderly process. I would much prefer having a bolt to pull the thing into place (and secure it), but I can't afford the time or money required to yank the crank for machine work right now. I guess I'm limited to the stock method until time and money coincide.
