Dr is right use a longer pipe. Last time I needed to something similar two hands and all my strength on the normal spanner didn't work then using the pipe (2 M) undid it one hand :shock:

1. Do it up as tight as buggery using your newly aquired braker bar. As tight as the old one was.

2. Knock back the metal locking tab over the nut to keep it locked in that position.

Here's how I do it, it don't come loose.. :P
1. Make sure the bolt threads are good, and dry.
2. Put some Loctite 262 on the threads of the bolt.
3. Refit it without the lockwasher, torque it up to at least 70lb/ft with a torque wrench. :wink:

Yes, dont do it tight as buggery you will just strip it, do it up to 70ft/pound as doc said. I would personally put a lock tab in as well as loctite.

Cheers

There are 2 reasons I (and another well known Mini engine builder not far from here) use Loctite & don't use locktabs for the balancer or the flywheel::
1. They are soft mild steel sheet and do collapse under load.
2. In the case of the crank balancer, the tab into the pulley is a joke, it hardly holds. And it's a bastard to get at too. :lol:
