how do i tighten the pulley down to 140lbs without turning the engine over and locking the flywheel?

 

put it in gear and either put the wheels on the ground or apply the brakes...

 

as stated above.

 

to be honest, they are really good ideas and i dont know why i didnt think of them. however, i was wondering, how would the brake/wheels on the ground keep the crankshaft pulley from turning in the tightening direction?

either way, i got it tightened down good with a chain wrench and a piece of the old belt for grip.

thanks guys.
