Folks,
I decided to replace my timing belt myself after the lower idler disintegrated and the dealer says $500.00.
I going to replace idlers, tensioner, etc;. May not do the water pump at 60K miles as only keeping the car for a year or two until I suspect my daughter (student driver) makes a mess of it.
I have most parts removed at this point and I now have the crank pin and camshaft alignment tool. I�m ready to take off the crank pulley. I sprayed WD40 on it last night to hopefully coax it a bit. I�m going to use my air gun to remove it. Can I use the crank pin tool to hold things instead of sticking a screwdriver in the ring gear (ATX)?
On the motor mount removal (I have the engine supported) do I remove the two 18MM nuts on the studs going vertical in front of the timing components?
I think I�m ready to go..
Thanks for opinions!!
MacB
