tork the damn bolt ... then .. TORK IT WITH THE ALL THE POWER OF GOD ...
looks like 100lb-ft as stated in the shop manual was not enought for mine.. bolt became loose, and the pulley got all eaten ... should have listened to the guys at the dealership .. :\

That may not be a problem for a regular engine.. But in my case, the Stand-Alone Ecu i'm using calculates engine position with magnets installed on the crankshaft pulley ... So a 20degrees derivation meens a 20 degrees offset of all engine management.
no wonder why my car was pulling like a Renault 2cv the last 3
days.. :\
I'm lucky, crankshaft is still ok.. so i'll only have to replace the pulley.
