10v front pulley bolt again

[Louis-Alain Richard]

When I rebuilt my 5 pot in 2008, I needed the tools so I tried to borrow
them from my dealer where I am very well known... One of the older
mechanics, the one who actually worked on the L5 in the day, came to the
front desk with only the crank locking tool. No trace of the multiplier
nowhere in the shop. He then said to me that he never used one, and no crank
bolt ever came loose... But then, maybe they have a bigger torque wrench
that goes to the proper 325 ft-lb without the multiplier, i don't know.

WARNING about the crank bolt:

One tool is a MULTIPLIER to obtain ~325 ft lbs.

Others DIRECTLY on the crank do the impact, jump, breaker bar w/grunt to
obtain the ~325 lbs needed.
