Do you change your own timing belt?
jnoshea:
Well, egg'd on by a 55% majority I decided to give it a go :shock:
Unfortunately, couldn't get the crankshaft pulley nut undone. I managed to restrain the crankshaft using the 'tucked in belt' method mentioned by jon boy, which worked a treat but the nut was done up so tight that I managed to bend my wheelbrace trying :cry:
Besides, I have enough to do this weekend: strip the head, get the head back on, fit new turbo, flush intercooler, change oil and filters. 8)

:D For those of you who are struggling with the removel of the crankshart pulleyGet a good quality spanner to fit the nut, turn the engine over with the spanner until the spanner rests on the chassis, making sure you turn it in the direction that the engine turns when running, then making sure that nobody is near the engine bay, flick the ignition key quickly on and straight off again, this will start the nut moving. This sounds abit extreme but it does work. JUST BE CAREFULL!.
