Ya I have a 1/2 inch drive set, made things easier. But man torquing that bolt down is tough I just couldn't get torque wrench to click. So I'll just start fresh tomorrow

^for that, i used a 4 foot piece of aluminum (possibly steel) pole that slipped over the HUGE 1/2 drive wrench. that long pole achieved the leverage needed for 217 ft/lbs MUCH easier. i think it was just an old chain link fence post....

Ya well somehow I managed to crack my crank pulley trying to torque it down. Called my work and its list price is 520. But thankfully I only have to pay cost + 10% but its still going to run me about 270, I have no idea how it happened.

Yes I heared your warning loud and clear but it happens, it was the pulley its self that had cracked I guess too much torque with setup. I'm frustrated that nobody carries it so I couldn't put it back together today soo I'll have to order an oem one from work at least I don't have to pay an ARM and a leg like some people

Where it actually crack was through the center where the 3/8s hole it cracked straight through. Never seen or heard of this where the lil key is, is fine must have been a poor casting or something.

Yup well I learned my lesson, boss gave me a decent price for 250 like 10 over cost or something. But definitely an expensive mistake. From now on I will just be using a good old chain wrench.
