How Do You Tighten 8BA Crank Pulley Bolt I want to check the torque of the bolt that secures the crank pulley to the crankshaft. The engine is in my 40 Ford.
What is the best method used to prevent the crank from rotating when I tighten the bolt? Bolt tightens by turning it clockwise when standing in front of the car? The torque is 45-55 foot pounds. Would it be ok to put the transmission "in gear" with emergency brake "on"? Thanks, JIM |

Re: How Do You Tighten 8BA Crank Pulley Bolt I set the impact on low and call it a day. Been doing that for over 40yrs, no worries yet...;)

Re: How Do You Tighten 8BA Crank Pulley Bolt I did it the correct way and used a torque wrench.
Besides, you can't use an impact wrench when the engine, radiator, fan and fan pulley set up are in the car. Not enough room. If possible, let us know how much torque is applied when the setting on your impact wrench is set at "LOW". |

Re: How Do You Tighten 8BA Crank Pulley Bolt I am truly surprised by the "amateur" approach some have suggested.
Kind of like saying" Cross threading a bolt is ok as long as it holds." |

Jim....Have you never heard this end-all phrase that I grew-up with? "A good cross-thread is far superior to a self-locking nut!" Coop . |
