Nissan Repair: Nissan Sentra Crankshaft Bolt, crankshaft pulley, nissan sentra


Question
Von,
I bought the idler pulley off a sentra in the junk yard and it seems like it'll work just perfectly.  That's all done.  I just have a quick question to possibly avoid the cost of renting an impact gun...
I took the bolt off the crankshaft pulley with the starter trick, is there any tricks for putting it back on without turning over the motor with the tension placed on the bolt?  
Thanks!

Answer
Christopher,

The trick to putting the bolt back on and getting it torqued is to use a screwdriver or something to wedge in the bellhousing to the starter ring gear.  You will need another person to hold the screwdriver, prybar or similar tool on the bellhousing while you torque the crank bolt.
