[urq] Crank pulley bolt

[Jim Haseltine]

Last time I did the timing belt on my Ur-q I broke two 1/2" extension bars, 
upgraded to 3/4" and found out why - kept increasing the setting on my 
torque wrench until the bolt moved, 650Nm. When it went the reaction in the 
torque wrench took me off my feet.
Bloody thread sealant.....

Regards,

Jim Haseltine
