just use metrinch! that socket set has saved me alot of grief.
Thanks b17gsr, the only other question I have is how I should go about tightening the crank pulley when everything is back together. Should I just go back to a shop with air tools or what?
db2-b17a-r where can I get metrinch?
Thanks guys,
Jeff
Torque wrench. 130 lbs/ft. If using a new bolt, tighten to 145 lbs/ft, remove it and then retighten to 130 lbs/ft.

you cna’t really tighten it with a torque wrench; it will turn the motor. Do the long pipe thing I posted, and sledge it until it won’t tighten anymore.
E-DA9, The pipe thing you mentioned, can you explain that with a little more detail. I hook up a 19mm socket to a regular socket wrench put a pipe over it. With the motor in gear and someone pressing the brakes I need to wack the pipe? Is that towards the back of the car
yes, 19mm with a ratchet, then put a long ass pipe (metal pipe of some sort, rigid and hollow) over it, and then sledge it towards the FRONT of the car…(clockwise). And yes, in gear, on the brakees.
