wow! thanks for the picture NATO308. It helps, 'cause I had it visualized totally differently.

Generally, the pipe wrench on the pulley gives me nervous tics, but I can see how'd it'd work, and may give it at least a test.

Did you have any damage to the pulley?


The fiberboard takes all the punishment on the outside of the pulley, never had any damage to the belt surface. The inside of the pulley gets a little scratched, but what does it hurt, maybe a little rust? It is the quickest and easiest way I could find to remove and tighten the crank pulley bolt. Regular wood this thin will crack and splinter from the belt grooves and the teeth on the pipe wrench along with the 120+ foot lbs needed to torque the bolt back on and the 200+ foot lbs needed to break loose a bolt that has been there a while. The fiberboard is pretty tough as long as you donÆt get it wet and will give enough on the belt groves so nothing is damaged.
