I took the picture by driving up the parking stop. It wasn`t up high enough
to check the bolt. Just high enough to stich my arm under the car. Great
observation though. Thanks. I`ll have it retorqued and centered if possible.
Seems odd that it`s possible that the mounting hole in the flywheel would be
large enough to be that far off center?

I have a `98/C5. The rubber that separates the harmonic balancer from the
flywheel has broken off. So I guess it needs the whole assembly. Is there
any altenative? I understand when a blower is put in there`s a way to lock
the two together. Can the rubber relaced? If indeed the whole balancer needs
replacement what should be a fair cost? Is this something I should take it
to a dealer for or use a trusted mechanic?
PS: does anyone have the repair instructions for this job?
