I don't have an answer for the crankshaft pulley problem - the ones I've done recently were 100 ft-lbs and I used a generic Chinese holder tool. I did a 150 ft-lb one a decade ago, and I assume I used a screwdriver in the flywheel teeth, because they are big and beefy on that motor. Or maybe I put a pry bar against bolts in the pulley holes, which is more or less what the holder tool does - I only bought it recently, expecting it to not work out, and was surprised. But this definitely varies by motor.
In any case, when you're dealing with torque numbers this high, you're probably either a trucker or mechanic, or maybe work in heavy industry or the military, and have specialized equipment for such tasks, and are not a typical car or SUV owner working on their personal vehicles, so these issues don't really apply.
As far as the pulley is concerned, I think I put a prybar on the flywheel teeth and torqued the bolt down as close as I could to the required minimum value, then used an impact wrench to blip it down a bit further. This is probably what most people do, I'm guessing. I was afraid of breaking a tooth or something else, so I winged it. Since the recommended torque value is a range and not a hard number, and probably a conservative one at that, I'm sure that I landed inside that range but didn't exceed it. That was a couple of years ago and all has been well since.
I do.
Some of the bolts on my Expedition needed more than 300ftlb.
I ordered one even though I don't think much of this brand. Thanks OP!
Come on man, does the average person have an expedition, that they maintain themselves? You're just hitting that axel but with your impact and calling it a day anyway. Who you fooling? Lol
