Help with torquing Crankshaft Pulley Bolt in SLC

Is there anyone is Salt Lake who has a crankshaft pulley tool I can borrow? I tried to put together a makeshift tool with a 2X4 and a couple of bolts, but it gave out at about 120 ft/lbs. Dammit! This 5 hour timing belt job has extended into its second day, now.

is it a manual? if it is, you can put it into 5th gear and have someone stand on the brakes while you torque the bolt down

Do you have an angle grinder?

It'll last forever and works great.

Build the tool. I fought with mine and used a piece of plate alum. Used pulley off the harmonic dampener to get bolt pattern and bolted it on and blocked it to the frame. The crankshaft is not the problem its the cam bolts!!! Make " THE TOOL" it will keep you sane !!!

Well, I would have to look at it to make sure but with other cars, I have taken two 3/8 half inch extensions and placed a pry bar between the two to hold the crankshaft and then tightened the bolt, has worked every time so far.
