Chris1573 slacker, I would be sat down having a brew now job done, both belts, and the pump.. lol..
To be fair anybody doing this for the first time is a big task, I hope you have a man enough bar and socket for the crank bolt.

Hi Flack, it’s only thanks to your efforts and Discomikey’s that I am doing this in the first place 👍😁 I am rolling around on a damp gravel drive so definitely a garage of some sort is on my list to build next year… I have a Sealey breaker bar and six pointed sockets so should be ok, will need a torque wrench though as mine only does up to 150 ft lb…

Can I just check for the 16mm bolt the tightening spec is :
Tighten the M16 retaining bolt in three stages:
Stage one: Tighten to 150 Nm.
Stage two: Tighten to 300 Nm.
Stage three: Tighten a further 90 degrees.

No thats not right, I tighten the bolt to 100nm, then do 90 degrees, just do the first figure then white line the bolt head from top to bottom and then tighten the bolt till line is horizontal.

Flack, you are the expert but is not 100nm +90 for 14mm bolts and 16mm bolts need the 2 stages +90?.

Hi Guys, thank you for responding... I am kinda hoping I am wrong as it seems extremely high !.
My Crank Bolt is 16mm. The info on the fitting instructions that I downloaded from Advance Factors is as follows:
Install the crankshaft pulley.
17.
Before installing the crankshaft pulley retaining bolt,
note the thread size of the bolt (there are two different
sized threads, M14 and M16). Failure to follow this
instruction may result in damage to the vehicle.
Tighten the M14 retaining bolt in two stages:
Stage one: Tighten to 100 Nm.
Stage two: Tighten a further 90degrees.
Tighten the M16 retaining bolt in three stages:
Stage one: Tighten to 150 Nm.
Stage two: Tighten to 300 Nm.
