Re: need help ASAP :(

it was a 22mm...i didnt have a torque wrench and i was by myself so i tightened til the engine started to turn then i held the pulley and tried to tighten it as much as i could until it turned again...i dont know if that is good or bad...it was a 1/2 drive though if that helps

oh and mine was in slightly better shape

Every time someone needs to change a crank pulley Harvey suggests some loctite stuff to put between the key and the keyway. Search and find out the kind of loctite and in your case I would definitely take the suggestion and use it so that the pulley doesn't have any play back and forth against the key. That might be why the bolt worked its way loose. And torque the bolt exactly to spec. I think the bolt is a 22mm head.
