Low ratio gear and big foot on brake pedal. Cgood luck on the torque I never got there on a classic
You need a special tool to hold pulley tightening sequence is 100 nm + 60 degrees + 60 degrees + 30 degrees. Or 100 nm and two and half flats from a mark. How the hell has that managed to come undone they are pretty tight? If you don't do it properly you will lose the oil pump drive. To give you some idea it's the large cranked tool in this box.

You need the special tool maybe you can borrow one from a local dealer for a fee. The bolt is seriously tight a nip up won't do, can't see how that can take the turbo out to be honest. Unless you lost all oil pressure and continued running the engine in which case the turbo would be the least of your problems.
