Timing gear torque.

When I put 100 ft lb on that nut to tighten it, should I use a rag in the teeth or will the fiber teeth handle it? Don't want to mess up a new gear.

Jackson, my Man,
Someone holding with the crank, will allow you to torque it to 100 Ft Lbs! Daves' Wife held it for him:eek: DON'T MESS with that WOMAN!!

Thw rag trick will let you torque the nut, BUT you will need a dentist in the future to repair broken teeth! Put the car in gear, chock the wheels with big chocks. Maybe using a rattle gun would work with guessing how tight to get it ?
 
Ok, I'll do it that way, but it means I load up those fibres gear teeth. They must be strong enough. Thanks
 
The only good way to do it is take the side cover off and put a clamp across the gear below the teeth. The rag puts pressure on the teeth just like no rag.
 
New question. I saw on a video where the guy put a big washer on before he put the nut on. Is this right? Snyder's does not offer one. Help.
