Hi Folks
How do I torque up the crank bolt without any holding tools.
Thanks

stick it in gear and get someone to sit in the cab pushing the brake.
Make sure the keys are OUT of the car and the battery is disconnected though 
Probably the least effective ever AREA REPRESENTATIVE: South East England

'94 Strada double cab 'parts truck'... too good to break?

I made a crank holding tool. Just need a metre long bar and 3 bolts. Very simple. Works well. Costs bugger all.
