quick question guys,got the truck all back together but forgot to torque the vibration damper bolt while the starter was off.its supposed to torque down to 130ftlbs,i got it as tight as possible with the torque wrench then bumped it twice with the impact gun.is there a way to hold damper and pulley from turning while i torque it properly?i hate the thoughts of taking the starter off again.laying under the truck for 3 hours on saturday was more then enough for me.
cheers.

 

No. Don't hold the outside of the balancer. Hit it again with the impact, and just call it good.

 

fair enough hey you.cheers man!

 

De[pends on impact wrench I would think. Some 1/2" drives may not be good enough. A 3/4" probably would. How solid is your impact?

 

Well, I know my Milwaukee impact wrench tops out at 130 foot pounds. Plott Hound, find out what your impact gun tops out at and then you'll know what's what.

 

impact gun is a good one,used it to remove the bolt.not sure what it tops out at,can figure that out tomorrow.

 

what would happen if it wasnt torqued right im sure the obvious is come back off but any other thoughts

 

I'm with HeyYou, Hit it with the impact and call it good. I have put a bunch on that way and never a problem.

 

impact it and call it good, thats what I did and havent had a problem, and I was using a craftsman impact gun
