The only way I could figure to get a torque wrench on those dampener bolts was to borrow a "Crows Feet" socket . The look like the end of a open end wrench that has been cut off with a standard size hole punched for a socket wrench. You hook your torque wrench on the end of one the proper size and it will slide in with sufficient clearance to get on the dampener bolt. A "Crows Feet" socket/wrench looks like this: Can't help you with the assembly. I've had mine disassembled at least twice, but, never had any problem assembling it following Tracy's instructions. You should not have to force anything - if you are finding yourself in that situation, then back-off and check what's wrong. I don't recall using the pilot bearing (if you are talking about the one in the engine eccentric shaft end) - but if it was used, then it was already in my eccentric shaft.
