Crank Shaft Nut Size on TD42

Just wondering what size the nut is on the end of the crank shaft that holds the pulleys on.

Sprung a oil leak on the weekend and just wanted to make sure the engine didn't seize before i try and start it again. There was still oil left in the engine and didn't heat up too much before i realised so hopefully its all good, but just wanted to make sure.

I don't have the right size socket and need to tell a mate what size it is so he can get one from his work.

Cheers

I was able to crank mine from the powersteering-pump-pulley.
Did that when I adjusted my valve tappets.

It's a 19mm bolt.

Give it a go and if your belts are good and your engine is not seized up it should work no worries mate!

Cheers for the replys,

The powerstearing pump would have been a good idea, but taken that off now too, might just have to put it back on and give it a go

anyways it shouldn't be stuffed (fingers crossed) and be back on the track real soon

cheers
