Go to Kragen, Napa, or other lenient return policay auto parts store. Buy an electric impact gun. Gently unpack it. Take off bolt. Put on pulley. Install bolt to proper torque specs. Clean impact gun. Return electric impact gun in original packaging as if never used?!! and yes, I've done it before.

ps. if you buy one with adjustable torque, you can put the bolt back on with the gun too. And remember to use loctite.

You might see if autozone has something like that (if they are in your area). They offer a free loan-a-tool program. You pay for the tool, then when you return it they refund your $$ 100%. I've used it quite a bit for tools that I don't often need.

They have the same thing at Checker Auto. I just used it for a set of strut spring compression clamps.
