96 DX crank pulley bolt questions
I've given up fighting this thing, is it safe to drive on a short distance if I have a shop break it loose and tighten it back up but not all the way? How tight should they make it, half the torque specs?
And what's the torque specification for this bolt on a Y7?
I've read about 135ft-lbs and 181ft-lbs, so now I'm unsure and I don't want to under-torque it.

drive it there, have the break it loose with an impact gun, tighten it by hand, tight drive it home chances are you'll be able to break it loose.

So it should be fine then? it's a short trip back once it's loose.
What about the torque specs when I tighten it back up, 181ft-lbs?

Book says 135ft-lbs. I got mines loose by wedging a pry bar in by my clutch disc. Did no damage to the disc or anything in that area for that matter.

Re: 96 DX crank pulley bolt questions
Well we got it off Saturday, or I should say a shop did. The thing was on there so tight it took 2 of their mechanics and the master tech plus 1 & 1/2 hours to do it lol. Took the drive home slow and everything worked out.
Car's running great now.
Yeah I tightened it up that way, I got access to AllData late Saturday and it recommended the same thing. Good guide too.

I would go with what's done here: http://www.civicforums.com/forums/23...t-96-00-a.html. Namely, tighten to 14 ft-lbs then tighten another 90 degrees.
