Also, when its in gear you want to in 5th so that the gear reduction isn't working with you.
The problem i had wasn't so much leverage, it was keep that pulley from spinning or having an impact gun with enough juice.
To future searchers, I'd almost just go to a shop and have them it it w/ their impact, then tighten it enough to get home to get off.
Then take it back to the shop and have them hit it tight with their impact gun.
The CSP is like $50+ from what i've seen nowadays... But i've used mine more than i can count.
