JUST MY LUCK!

Piper cam put in all shimmed up, all belts put on and timed up all hoses reconnected......
Put alternator belt on, flywheel located onto end of crank tighten nut up with windy gun and the threaded end of the crank shears off!!!

PS -Thank you fiat for making the end of the crankshaft HOLLOW and of a weak cast metal.

Solution - will have to drill a hole in the end of the crank, thread it and put a bolt in with a large washer to hold the original pulley nut in place. I dont want to have to strip the whole bottom end down and replace the crank!

Just hope the hole doesnt affect the balance of the crank!

i think he meant maybe someone on a punto forum would be better off offering advice to you than someone with a 1.2 corsa that cant change a flat tyre
