Bloody crank pulley bolt..
Is this a known weakness or are we just being unlucky?? Its come loose TWICE now even with thread lock? Nearly lost the crank pulley this time!
It was tightened with a torque wrench with the car in gear, why is the bloody thing comming loose? It makes no sense?

A Socket that has been blessed by Wesak Monks under the Bodhi Tree on a tuesday afternoon just before lunch which is on the shelf next to the mystic oilfilter tool that must be used to prevent bottom end failure after oil changes?

Thread worn on the bolt? Maybe worth seeing how much Subaru will shaft you for a new pulley bolt.
Either that or your torque wrench is crap (often caused by leaving the spring tensioned when not in use- although, some can be miles out from new). Or if your very unlucky the thread in your crank is screwed (pun not intended).

A new bolt from subaru is £5 something, i replaced mine when i fitted a set of lightened wheels
I suppose it could be worse.
