Hi Guys,
I'm trying to pull the crank pulley to change the timing belt, but I cant get the bolt undone.
I've tried wedging a cam gear in place with a spark plug socket through one of the holes, but that just made the crank jump a tooth on the belt.
Anyone got any tips for removing it? I've got all the other belts off, and this is holding me up.
It's not one of those weird reverse thread bolts is it, the ones you have to crank the other way to undo?
The cars an auto (if it was a manual I'd just put it in gear).
I might try making up some sort of bracket that will bolt to the pulley through the 6 little bolts that hold the front pulley on, so I can try and hold it in place while cranking the bolt to undo it. Unless someone has any better ideas.
