I hope you don't either. When I turned that crankshaft bolt and it kept spinning, I knew there was a problem and at that moment in time had no answers. I was about a day away from completing the job and thought I screwed up my crankshaft. It was daunting at first, but turned out better than expected in the end. Best of luck on your X projects!
Hey there! Appreciate your comment. Tapping the threads really made a difference and solved my issue. It's been smooth sailing for over 30,000 miles since I put the harmonic balancer back on, no problems at all.
@@TheNonnell Awesome man! I appreciate the response. I'm about to go through the same thing with a 2006 xterra. If it works it'll save me a ton of money replacing the motor
I hope I never have to do this too my X. Thanks for the info 👍. Nice job.

As long as you have the right size tap, material in the hole, and patience, you should be fine.
So no loctite?
