timing belt

(1/2) > >>

woody:
well it had to be changed so i could have peace of mind for another 50 thou miles
i ordered the kit in from m and m 4x4 (all bearmarch stuff)
started on monday eve after work
removed the fan and cowling
put disco in low ratio with diff lock on undid the crank pully bolt which was very easy to undo
then came to removing the crank pully itself some twonk had secured it with  locktight
homemade puller bent had to heat with a propain torch and make a puller out of a gearbax flange and pull it off every last inch
replaced timing belt tensioner and pully
total time off the road 4 days
locktight goes on the bolt not the pully :(bigangry):  :(bigangry):  :(bigangry):  :(bigangry):  :(bigangry):  :(bigangry):  :(bigangry):

Range Rover Blues:
There are some f***wits out there :roll:

Worst thing about owning an old Land Rover is the t!t who had it before you.

extreme90:
yes, but by putting locktight on the pully aswel, it solves the problem of brocken keyways and scrap cranks  :wink:
even on 300's it still sometimes happens

spy:
Just had mine done 2.  I bottled it though and paid a local chap to do it for me! :D

Reaper:
I think you'll find that the LR workshop manual recommends you do this.
