Torque Spec: Crank S Bolt

[L DC]

Hello All!!

According to the Bentley manual, the torque spec for
the 27mm crank shaft pulley bolt on my '87 VW Quantum
Syncro, which shares the same drive train as the Audi
4KQ, is set at 258 lbs USING tool 2079 (extension
bar).

This means that in the absence of such tool, the
torque on the actual 27mm bolt is greater, correct?

258 lbs of torque is alot of torque to begin with and
most torque wrenches I have come across in the Auto
parts stores max out at 200 lbs.

I have not asked at any of the stores I've visited for
higher torque wrenches. Would they carry any of them?

TIA

-Louis
