Crankshaft Pulley Fitted
alright guys
upon receiving my crankshaft pulley from rob (lude-dude), cheers by the way,I gathered the necessary tools from work ie torque wrench,mini-jack and 1/2 in drive socketry and came home to get her moving again.
jacked up , removed wheel ,positioned pulley,inserted woodruff key and then THE bolt of hugeness
bit of threadlock and tightened then once tight as it would go with the normal ratchet out came the beast
this torque wrench is about three foot long and proceeded to torque to 245Nm .... holy jobby i was sweating trying to get it to click
torqued , then belts refitted (another muffin job) hands are shredded
went for a spin and the started drove for about 5 miles then headed home and when slowing down i think i heard the same sort of noise as before when it went did i or didnt i??
decided to re-torque the bolt only this time i never took the wheel off just used the wee access hole ,went for 245Nm again and while tightening i felt the tension coming off the torque wrench
oh jobby i thought the bolts gonna snap!!!
apparantly not ,it actually twisted the 1/2 in drive extension bar (not mine) so im assuming the bolts not gonna move
does anyone else get paranoid when they fix something themselves ???
anyway the long and short of it is shes moving again
gotta love the prelude

Sorry man, that bolt is a wet torque. No threadlock, just oil on the bolt
Sure you'll be able to beast it off when the time comes.

oh well maybe a bit of insurance against it coming loose of its own accord
it will come off, just perhaps not as easily
** just read the bible again and it shows you where to lubricate when refitting the bolt**
you oil the thread (which i did do) so maybe the threadlock wont take quite as well as on a dry bolt.
or maybe im kidding myself on
