torquing the crank bolt

hi,

i am trying to torque the crank pulley bolt on my 95 to 120# with
tranny in gear and brakes set but cant get to hold. i do not see any
access/inspection panel to be able to jam the flywheel...

any suggestions?

tia,
peter

You are using 5th gear right? If you can't get the E-brake to hold the
drivetrain still, your next option would be to have a helper come and
stand on the brake pedal while you do the final torque.

Good luck with it...

that still didnt work initially, so i set the torque wrench at 90,
then 100, then 110 and finally 120.
i guess i didnt have enough room to get to 120 in one step.

You're an adventurous soul my friend! What's the weather like at 6:00am
where you are? Here in Houston, it'd already be about 78f. :-(
