If you use a impact wrench, do you have too use a torque wrench too? Attachments:

No, screw the nut on with your fingers as tight as you can then hit it with the Impact Wrench 3 1 second bursts and you should be good to go. After you do it start the motor and just give it a couple of revs to make sure it will not come loose. Use the same procedure for the Variator to.

My impact wrench has the ability to be adjusted to control the impact torque.
course it was a bit expensive.

There is a little more to it than put the belt on, finger tighten the nut, and whack it with the impact wrench. Done that way you stand a good chance of things working loose or pinching the belt and damaging it. I have an extra variator with no fan blades on it as a result of that method.
Take some extra time and care getting the nut finger tight. My method is to finger tighten the nut, then squeeze the belt, top to bottom, to loosen it and arrange the belt to make sure the belt is floppy loose around the variator. Finger tighten the belt again. Rinse and repeat until there is no more looseness to finger tighten. THEN use the impact wrench. When you are done you should have a belt that is pulled down into the back pulley and loose around the variator pulley. Start the motor and the belt will seat itself properly.
