$268 bucks for Pulley install? crappola
Yea, I torqued the pulley back to spec, but really that's not necessary at all. here's why:
Going from memory, the instructions say to torque it to (i think) 30-36 ft-lbs. this pretty much means to turn the bolt till its VERY tight.
Then you align a mark on the pulley (from under the car) and match that line up with one of the lines on crank BOLT. the bolt has 6 lines, which represent 60 degrees of seperation. Then, go back and put the 1/2" breaker bar on the bolt and have the wife push on the break, and TURN the bolt clockwise WITH EVERYTHING YOU GOT.
It took me about 3 extremely hard turns (cause the crank shaft kept moving) to get the new line on the bolt to match up with the line i marked on the pulley. Basically, I don't think there is any way in heck you will overtorque the bolt. IT TOOK every ounce of strength I had (with a 3 foot extension on the breaker bar) to get my lines to match up!

Well,
Actually, you first torque it to 30-36ft-lbs. After that, you mark a line on the pulley. Then you torque it even more (another 60 degrees on the bolt).
This amount of torque ends up being probably well over 100ft-lbs of torque. I mean the amount of force required to turn the bolt an additional 60degrees from the original 30ft-lbs is unbelievable. Very difficult
