[How to change your timing belt!]

Its an auto. Yea, i am pretty creative, being a helicopter mech. Ive got it at 60 ftlbs now. I was going to go off your drawing in the post vs my book. The chilton says 136-150 ftlbs, but that book has already lied to me. It wanted 85 ftlbs for the water pump bolts, (12mm) and rather than warning you about using a 3 jaw puller and breaking the outer lip on the pulley (like the haynes manual does) it shows a picture of it being used. Im half tempted to call it good at 70 ftlbs, but its not my truck.

Thanks, my only other concern is torquing the damn pulley. I dont have air tools, and im a little worried about pulling the starter and using a screwdriver on the flywheel. How likely am i to break it?

this is just a washer on the fwd side of the crank sprocket, under the lower timing cover. its actually shown in the 4th pic down, on reply #27 of this thread. It just doesnt feel right when i put it on, what will hold it in place?

Newbie here, first post. Its been almost a week since i took everything apart (including a hazy vegas trip) so i dont quite remember how the crankshaft pulley plate went. It has a keyway in it, and theres clear "wear mark" from the sprocket on it, but the keyway on the crankshaft doesnt extend to the sprocket. So do i slide it all the way back against the sprocket, where it looks like it will just spin like a loose washer on a bolt, or do i just slide it on to the rear edge of the keyway, where it looks like it will spin its way off, and back to the sprocket anyway?
