Self tighten crank pulley bolt?

I tried to get the crank pulley bolt back on as best i could with out the special crank holder tool. I know on alot of diff cars like subby that the crank pulley bolt self tightens once sunged. Anyone know if its like this on civics as well?

I am not sure if that is true, but the manaul calls for something over 200 ft. lbs when putting it back on. did you use a torque wrench to put it back on?

4drcivic2k1 is an unknown quantity at this point

How would it "self" tighten?

Impact wrench works great for this bolt.

Um no. The manual says " Tighten to 14 lbs, Then turn it 90 degrees more. Its only about 150 ft lbs
