Been having problems with torqueing a crank pulley bolt to spec without having the car roll back or the crankshaft rotate along with the camshaft. This is near impossible, had my brother come out and he held the brakes even, still rotating, and going back to its original spot after trying.

Should the car be lifted more? How much is this thing gonna give?

 

you're doing it wrong. nana.gif

It will rotate as long as you don't have anything completely blocking the crank from spinning. A screwdriver in the starter teeth on the flywheel could work. I used a lever holding the timing gear immobile relative to the head (with the timing belt installed) and an assistant hanging off the lever . . . edit I couldn't find where I said how I did it so I added to the end of the timing setting DIY

Orrrr hold the pulley with one hand and use an impact gun with the other fing02.gif

Worked for me...several times.

 

Not recommended, unless you can verify the max. torque output of the gun.

 

Yeah forgot to mention mine has an adjustable clutch laugh.gif

 

I had my lady keep the break pressed while in gear

 

Hyundai recommends that special tool be in their mechanics tool boxes. When I get a actual garage that I can work in, I'll be buying a pneumatic set and a adjustable torque impact adapter. That's the shizzy.

 

if the car was on a lift the pulley bolt could be torqued to spec if it was turned the total 180 degrees

car lifts are the shizzy
