You had to ruin it by putting sensible answers would be appreciated

If you have a haynes manual the torque settings will be in there.

but it could be an option.

Haha. Umm, I can tell you the torque values for my xr2 if you want and you can guess from that? Personally I don't bother torquing it up. I just do it until the fucker wont come loose ever

best way to undo bottom pully would be to get a mate to put foot on brake and put power bar on the crank pulley bolt. that should do the trick.

Ben26

lol, but i normally find that the tighter u do them the more the gasket will queeze out the sizes

You could still get a mate to put his foot on the brake for you? although I feel it would be a slightly pointless endeavour

Ben26
