the waterboxer cast iron crank pulleymounting arrangement is about the
least trouble-prone crank-pulley mounting system there is all of car-dome.
   Impact it on there, I suggest , with an air impact gun to agood 200 +
ft lbs.  I put permatex high tack gasket sealer , the red stuff, on the
threadsof the bolt.  It ain't goin' no whereif you do that.    Pay
attention to an o-ring there too I think.
Familiarity with what yout impact gun 'feels like' over time is a must.
