    Well if you had the gearbox off and locked the flywheel........wouldn't that be enough to do up the bolt to 120NM? (given you can do up flywheel bolts this way)?

    you can lock the crank that way, but be carefull, you can damage threads, or snap bolts. again my air rattle gun is my freind set it to FT and go for it, always be sensible, there is no need to sit there for ages tightening them.

    hp of the motor doesnt mean much, you want to look for the output of the compressor in CMF
    mine is a 15 CMF, 12 or better would be nice,

    go for something belt driven, these direct drive ones look like toys

    you are looking at $800+ for a decent setup ( compressor + hosing + basic 1/2 inch ratchet gun etc - please dont get one of those super cheap auto or bunnings "packs") - myself and the boss have been looking around quite abit. I have settled for a compact electric impact wrench - rated at 200NM and fantastic for anything short of this "DEVIL" bolt lol ( well , i really dont want to burn it out on this lol). Looking at about $500 for unit BUT not as versitile as a compressor can be.

    How so?

    I've done a few clutches/flywheels by wedging something between the flywheel teeth and torqued up the bolts to 120nm. So the same should work on the crank pulley bolt yeah?

    yeah , but remembet to every action there is a reaction. I have seen blots snap in the back of the crank, gearbox covers snap bolts bend. tools go flying nearly missing customers cars and other people.
    just be carefull is what im sayng,

    my rattle gun cost me about $400 when I was an aprentice, thats two weeks pay back then. but its a snap on one. you get what you pay for. and 10 years later, still works a treat. cheep air guns work ok as well, but dont last long. also not as gusty with the same amout of air pressure and volum

    well that can happen without even opening the bonnet

    Also John as I asked before -

    will the special key still stay ontop of the crank side once you rattle the bolt off ? Or is there a small chance of it falling out into the lower guts of the engine there ? What about when re-installing ?

    so is there anything you could reccomend in terms of air tools for a good price?

    i'm not looking for everlasting tools but something that wont break after the first month?

    would that still be $800?


    EDIT: SOrry to hijack the thread - last question i swear.
