Cambelt Woes, need help
Ricky:
Jack her up , wedge the breaker bar against the floor then drop the jack down, works great on gearbox filler plugs as well
stageonesimmo:
I've had a couple of stubborn ones so I invested in the special tool that holds the crank still - it bolts into the crank pully and has a long 'handle' that butts up against the chassis leg, you then pull against this to undo the nut, I've used it in conjunction with a rattle gun in the past and it never fails. Diff-lock sell them. Should fit a 200 OK.
Evilgoat:
well thats it. All avenues I have at my disposal exhausted :(
Just debating towing it down to a garage. Will pop an ad in the wanted section see if someone has the tool I can borrow. I dont want to spend quite that much on a tool I'll only ever need once.
Why couldnt they design it sensibly?
stageonesimmo:
Sorry to hear that fella - you're a bit far away to borrow mine!
Les Henson:
Take the starter motor off and then use a big screwdriver to jam the flywheel ring gear. You can then put a length of scaffold tube on the breaker bar to increase leverage.
Les.
