Correct Torque For Rb26 Crank Bolt

[burn4005]

coates hire lift and shift will rent you a big f**k off warren and brown deflecting beam wrench and a 12 point socket (no ratchet on a W&B so a 6 point might not give you enough angular freedom) for about $60 bucks for 1/2 a day.

I drove there, rented it, drove home *click*, took it back about 1 hr later. the 1" Drive Wrench is so long is reasonably easy to get the required torque. you only need to pull on it from the passenger side of the engine bay with about ~35-40kg of force depending where you grip it.

 

my clutch will hold about double the bolt torque so i just put it in gear with the handbrake on and had no issues with the engine in car (radiator removed) and bonnet open.
