If it's a man put it in 5th, or if you feel lucky jam something into the flywheel through the access plate. If you were using it for the cam sprocket I find it easier to remove the bolt with the belt still on, that way you can use the above method and it'd still work since it's still connected to the crankshaft, whereas if you removed the belt the cam would just spin. At anyrate, good job!  |
Yeah, it was for the crank pulley. I've been removing the cam pulleys with "standard tools"
, and had thought about both your options during the process; but I'm self-taught, and when doing that kind of stuff I just follow the book *almost* to the letter. :wink:
Thanks for the nice tips, as they should make the next one a lot easier.
