Yep cost me all of $35 to have the anti-rotation arm welded onto my crank pully holder. A ¾ to 1” drive breaker bar is definitely over $100 these days (unless you’re a Pittsburg tool fan, even then…). As you can see in Broskis provided photo… the drive/tange of the breaker bar isn’t 100% engaged into the crank holder, the detent ball of the breaker drive isn’t engaged fully and held in by the detent ball, therefore the breaker has the ability to slip out under load. Another plus side is you can carry your crank pully holder with optional “anti-rotation device” in the back of your vehicle as an emergency roadside “negotiator device”

All of you guys using the starter to remove the bolt.....what are you using to HOLD the HB when torquing the nut back to 304 lb. ft. ?

Somebody liked my post and just saw this question.

I have some nylon rope that I got at Home depot and loop it around the frame and then wrap it around the HB so as to tigthen on the HB as I tighten the bolt.

There is a pic up here somewhere but basically fold the rope in half, pas the loop created over the top of the frame and then pass the two ends of the rope through the loop on the other side. This doubles up the strength when tightening the bolt.

I sure wouldn't want to carry that around with me in the back of the rig. It's something that could be a projectile in a accident or roll over.
You must have way better eyes then I as I cant see indent ball, the breaker will pass all the way through HB holding tool and stick out the other side if you push it all the way in.

No theirs nothing to keep it from coming out but rotational forces are working 90* to the breaker bar so there's little chance of it slipping out !

For putting things back together, there's a 300 ft-lb torque wrench now (Aug '23) on Amazon for $95. Probably a step up from HF. 26,000 ratings, 4.5 stars. Clockwise only.

I like Tekton. I have several of their tools and a 250 ft-lb torque wrench. They stand by their stuff and it’s made in Taiwan. I like their warranty and their customer service.
