RH, but tightening torque is high. I use a length of pipe on a breaker bar (3/4" drive is best).

As John said, 3/4" drive is best for doing it back up, I snapped a 1/2" drive Snap On breaker bar tensioning mine up a few years back.cooter wrote:1/2 rattle gun sorted it out

what is the tension?

1st stage 80 Nmcooter wrote:what is the tension?
2nd stage +90 degrees rotation.
Edit: This is difficult, so don't be tempted to tighten to a lesser value, as the pulley has a habit of flogging out the keyway in the crankshaft if not tightened properly.

what size are the puller bolts?

They look to be 8mm, but I could check better tomorrow. BTW there are 4 (90* spacing).
