Retorqueing the crank pulley bolt
How do I go about doing this? I only have hand tools aswell. I used the started method to get it off, now I can't figure out how to get it back on tight.

Make a tool to hold the pulley in place. It shouldn't cost you more than $20 to do it or, invest on the right tool. The chain wrench is a good idea but make sure you do not damage the pulley itself. That will be a much bigger problem if you do heheheee.
This is the right tool Schley 64300. or make one similar. All you need is a hard steel plate. 1 big hole in the middle about 1" and 2 small ones on each side for the long bolt to slide in and bolt to the pulley.... Oh, and I suppose a long handle bolted to the plate for countering.

If you are replacing the serpentine belt as well, you can use the old one to wrap around the crank pulley and slip a breaker bar through the belt to contact the sway bar and frame. Make sure you wrap the belt counter clockwise since you are turning the bolt clockwise. It will take a couple of tries to get the correct amount of friction. Works in a similar fashion to the plate steel if you don't have quick access to any special tools.
