Thank you.

They're all left thread. Same as all of the other bolts on it. Great that you asked to be sure. Better than breaking something if it was different.

Left worked great. What's the torque for replacing the bolt. And what's the torque for the belt housing?

Thanks for information. Got it done but not without a lesson learned. Took the old one with me to autozone for comparison. It was the same part.
Installed it on engine torqued it in. Go to install the belt pully 3 screws in 4th won't go, further inspection, no threads in balancer. Dorman built one missing the threads. Lesson learned check screw holes for threads.
