The spec for the crank pulley bolt is 74 ft-lbs + 90* rotation of the bolt.
I wanted to check what is the best way to prevent the crank from rotating while doing this. Is just leaving the cam alignment tool in place enough, or is that asking too much of the timing chain and cams? I do have the oil pan off so have some access to the flywheel. I could also make a spanner and try to hold the pulley...
The second option would be an impact with some loctite, but I prefer to do as much as possible by the book.
