Put the engine in 1st gear, then with the rear wheels of car on the
ground have someone hold their foot on the brakes.
You can then tighten the crank pulley with a large breaker bar and socket.
You will need to disconnect the motor mounts from the frame and
disconnect the throttle rod and the pivot on the intake manifold and
remove the front air filter and lift the engine. In order to get a
socket on the crank nut.
