a few days ago i put my crank pully bolt back on, because the last one came off, so i got a new one from toyota. the first time i tryed to put it on me and the type r guy tightened the best we could(with lock tight)

two days later it came out again.
so today i put it in by myself and 10 mins later i hear a bolt hit the ground and it was my crank pully bolt.
i can not get that **** to stay in.
can any on help me?

thanks colton

 

are you sure the other one didnt snap and a little bit of debris isnt in there. Or Is the crank keyway intact. Not being there will cause pulley to have play. Play will wiggle the bolt loose!

 

sorry for asking but how can i tell if the keyway is intact??

 

take the crank pulley off and look at the crankshaft. there will be a raised section. a little rectangular piece of metal. http://www.difflock.com/servicing/30...ley-Keyway.jpg should fit in a slot like that. Make sure it is there. And make sure it isnt crushed or your pulley isnt stripped where the keyway goes!

 

thanks you couldnt have made that any more clear

ill check that tommrrow. any more suggestions.

 

do you think im just not tighting it enough?

 

a crank bolt needs to be torqued as well. Id say guestimate 80 ftlbs .. I work at a dealership and this is actually a common problem and a recall where i work so ive dealt with it. What are you tightening it with!?

 

well on supra forums they said 160ftlbs so idk how the fxck im going to get it that tight. i used a breaker bar with a little bit of an extension. im just thinging im not thghting it enough. how the hella can i get out 160 ftlbs

 

2'-3' breaker bar with a 3'-4' peice of pipe on it. My jack handle fits over my breaker bar so I use that. Or take it to a shop and impact it on.

 

^ backyardigansss.. my mann .. Thats what i do when im not in the shop!
