What size is a 5.3 harmonic balancer bolt?
They are rated at 200,000 psi tensile strength that let you exert maximum clamping force. Special Features — 1-1/16″ Socket size, M16 X 2.0 Thread and 4.330″ Under Head Length. Include 1/4″ thick, wide area washer and an extra tall 12-point head that accepts a deep socket and eliminates the worry of stripping the head.

How do you tighten a harmonic balancer bolt?
The only way to tighten the harmonic balancer bolt properly is to lock the motor up somehow and tighten it with a torque wrench to the correct tension. Which means usually wedging the flywheel some way. Or you could just use a impact wrench (rattle gun) and tighten it up really tight if you want the easy way out.
How much torque do I need to remove a crankshaft bolt?
How about pull out your torque wrench, put it at the 120 or so ft lbs that the bolt requires for tightening (verify with the FSM), and try to loosen until you’ve put that amount or torque into removing. That should give you a benchmark on how much force is required. Or start lower, like 90 ftlbs.
