Book time for cambelt and waterpump.
Book time for cambelt and waterpump.
leep:i phoned around and this is about the normal price.... eeek.
ill see if the pulley bolt comes loose and go from there as I have brand new blueprint pump sitting on the shelf at home.
is the crank pulley a sliding fit or a PITA to get off?
update after a quote: total cost for timing belt, v belts and water pump is a whopping £820... £35 off if the v belts are not done.

To release you will need a deep socket 22mm, i used an impact socket, a breaker bar, a scaffold pole and a mini sledge. Take the radiator out as it will give you more space. Hit the bolt square on the head a few firm taps with a mini sledge then put the car in gear (6th?) and get your socket, breaker bar and scaffold pole and give it one good pull until you hear the loud crack, you have the nut off so you're half way there. Spin the nut off and store safely.
Next, to get the pulley off you need your mini sledge and what you need to do is use the side of the sledge to tap along the edge of the pulley to "walk" it off the shaft. Lots and lots of gentle taps on the opposite sides of the pulley and lots of WD-40 and it will get it off.
Crank pulley isn't all that difficult if you've the right gear. First thing to do is get a can of WD-40 or other penetrating oil and spray the bolt and the back of the crank a day or so before you do the work, when you spray it in and then drive the car it will help the pulley to release from the key shaft.

i assume you didnt have a lift and just used the scaffold pole from above ?
anyone got the torque specs of the bolt for refit and what type of thread lock used ?
anyone got a printout from the workshop manual they can send me ?
cheers lance, tooling is not an issue so no fears there. Ill spray up the bolt area and pulley and see if i can get the bolt to budge first of all.

As for re-torquing, spin the bolt up tight and get your breaker bar and pole and again just pull on it to it cracks, then give it another pull to it cracks again. That's it tight enough!
Yep, no lift but I did jack the car up and set the front on axle stands as you need to remove the under tray to get the radiator out and it gives you a bit more room to get the pulley out as you can get at it from under the car too. Just watch the bonnet edge with the scaffold pole! Try and get the bonnet lifted that little bit higher than the normal resting place for the prop.
