8BA Flathead Ford Crankshaft Pulley Install
I’m wondering if anyone can put my mind at ease (or into turmoil)… I removed my crankshaft pulley, painted and reinstalled. My concern is if I did anything damaging. I removed the retaining bolt easily with an electric impact. Then a little rubber hammer tap and elbow grease and the pulley came off easily. I cleaned it, painted it, then reinstalled by tapping into place with rubber hammer on the keyway (slid on nicely) then used impact to reinstall. Is this ok? Or have a made an error in using the impact. Van pelt site stated that ford did not specify a torque so I assumed nice n tight. Impact was my thought as otherwise motor turns over while tightening. I thought nothing of it and was pleased that it went smoothly. But as an over thinker I’m not worried that it’s ok to do it this way. Anyways any input is appreciated as always!
