kalium Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 Why is this happening? It seems to come loose pretty easily. I have one of those pulleys from a skyline, with the 3 runs on it. Is it most likely the pulley out of balance, or the engine, something else? Cheers Ray Quote
Mr240z Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 I,ve just gone though this. Make sure you use a heap of thred lock (loctite) Put the hand brake on, Put it in gear , Have someone hold the brake down. And tighting the hell out of it with heaps of loctite on the tread of the bolt. Pauly Quote
xa1973 Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 Hey Guys Hang On First of all remove the bolt and check the thread, run a die over it, if its stuffed buy a new one, but wait theres more...... Run a tap through the crank, check and clean build up, once this is done repeat, if the tap spins in too easily by hand it is worn you will need to go over size If all is good, ( loctite industrial machine thread lock ) and torque to 118 to 157 NM or 87 to 116 FT LBS in the old language, and dont forget a grip faced washer Cheers Quote
Mr240z Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 Check your tyre presurre while your at it. Just make sure it's bloody tight............................... Quote
xa1973 Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 LOL Just make sure you do it right the first time and you wont have to do it again and again Specs are there for a reason!!! Cheers Quote
C.A.R. Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 Yep. Also run a white line across the head of the bolt to the side of the pulley - this will let you know if it's moved or not... Quote
