You will definitely still need to torque the HB back up as it will likely need to be done up to somewhere north of 200ft/lbs lol

Nah, no Torque wrench required for those sort of numbers.

Bathroom scales, 1/2" (or 3/4") breaker bar, piece of pipe to slip over the bar and a hacksaw.

weigh yourself, figure out how far along the pipe/breaker bar to stand.
Probably wont even need the pipe for 200ft-lbs if the breaker bar is long enough/you ate all the pies.

So this is with the engine in place right? :lol:

Its easy enough on most american iron! Just eat more till you weigh 400lbs, then you only need a 6inch lever

Its a good way to do axle nuts if you don't already have a 1/2" drive torque wrench.

Haha, this reminds me of what I used to do to loosen/tighter the 52mm nut that held the flywheel on the back of the eccentric shaft, in whatever rotary I was working on lol

A 3ft bar with a 52mm socket welded to the end of it, and some basic arithmatic=win

I can't remember if this was for tightening or loosening, but I heard the trick was to lock the wrench in place (with a big bar?) and give the starter a couple of pulses......

I reckon it was for loosening.... Still... anyone game to try, I heard this from an oldschool mechanic...
