Cq 20v Abt

[Bowie69]

I would say the interior is one of ABT's hallmarks...

[rynaqui]

I love that interior, was never too sure about the exterior of this car but I like it

[Seb20V]

Wow, you guys are amazing, you're really helpful and fast. I've never seen a forum like this, it's really wonderful, thanks !

So the gearbox blocking method isn't working at all (and it's the 1st gear not the 5th gear that you have to use...).

I wondered if we made a tool like the green thing I draw on the image it could ever work? It's not gonna hold it uh ?


The 2084 tool i found is this

not gonna be of any help

Thanks for the pic Error, now I know what it should louk like.
I think the next option is doing a tool like suggested by K Simmonds.

Everything is disassembled now, this awrse of screw is just waiting to be unscrewed

Andy10vs homemade locking tool

[Seb20V]

great thanks !

[Seb20V]

Wait, I hope this screw as to be unscrewed counter-clockwise ? cause it's not moving AT ALL

Standard fine threads with some "locking paste" installed at 450 Nm (or 350 Nm with the 2079 torque wrench extender) = need for 3/4" breaker bar and socket plus 1.5 m pipe "snipe" over the breaker bar and a good deal of effort = it will come off. DO NOT USE AN IMPACT GUN.

[Seb20V]

IT CAME ! wouhou
Pics of this later ...
So I should screw it back at 450 nm too ? Makes a lot Lol think we will purchase a new screw ^^

[Bowie69]

Yes, 450NM to do up.... Crank bolt should be OK as long as not damaged, and does back up to the specified torque.

Check bottom pulley for damage.

here a few pics:

here we go for the underneath view(s)










and now the belgian (and with what we've got) made locking tool





that's all ! tomorow mario will remove the water and reassemble all the stuff (apart from radiators)

[UrS4boy]

That extension on the crank bolt socket is going to need a support. It is too long and once you get torquing on the bolt, the whole set up will twist and the socket will slip off the crank bolt. At least support the extension so there are no unnecessary twisting moments (and by moment I mean force x distance).

Good luck.

the rust under the rear bumper looks realy nasty...

[SteveH]

You will likely damage the harmonic pulley rubber doing it like that. It's best to restrain the central section of the pulley with a locking tool. I'd try a different method putting it back on if you can. Good luck with it.

[K Simmonds]

Yeah, I was just about to say the same thing! The outside of the harmonic damper (bottom pulley) is bonded to the center with rubber, it's not going to do it any good twisting it with 100 NM let alone 450 NM. It's the center that needs locking.

I'm actually quite surprised you didn't tare the damper in two doing it that way, I've seen them fall apart on their own.

Your cars looks to be in great condition underneath

[Bowie69]

Agreed, very little rust on subframes and suspension bits
