Having got the crank pulley off what sort of torque wrench did people use when they refit the bolt?
The biggest one I’ve got goes up to 100Nm. They seem to get a bit pricey when you get to the 160Nm range.

I just mark the bolt and use a impact wrench to do it up to the same position

What a good idea

I have a Clarke Pro 1/2" drive digital torque wrench. It has a torque range of 20Nm - 200Nm.

Bought as a Xmas present from Machine Mart a few years ago. It's a nice piece of kit but I do find it clumsy to use and I tend to only use it for the larger torques.

I must admit, I rely more on my trusty "mechanical" torque wrench which is much more use friendly.

Quite frankly I think "as tight as you can get it by hand" is probably good enough

I spent 37 years in the aerospace industry where torque settings and torque wrenches are “king” , you really dont’t want to be near something when a nut comes off at 24000 rpm , so old habits die hard

Not ideal if you snap the bolt in the crank!

Not usually a problem if the head Shears of on a crank they are not normally siezed in so just screw out , impact gun best way of removing never failed me yet on k and d series . As long as you don't listen to certain experts that say honda is lefthand thread its not on the rover/honda D series .
