Crank & Power Steering pullies
« on: 25 July 2011, 22:30 »
Any ideas on the tightening torque for the crank pulley bolts? The Haynes Manual says 90NM which has led to one of the bolts shearing off.

Also, how do you lock the power steering pulley in place to enable the bolts to be tightened?

Thats way to much for the crank pulley small bolts. That torque is for the large crank centre bolt.  :sick:
