Cambelt guide and parts checklist

[andyg plym]

Need to do the cambelt very soon,never had the pleasure of doing an s2 one before.Am aware of needing to replace the water pump and tensioner at the same time etc.

My biggest obstacle is what to use to lock the bottom pulley to undo the crank bolt.Is there a special locking tool? Anyone got one to borrow/buy?

Finally,is there a sticky somewhere on the forum on how ro change? I have only ever done Ford's before!

yes 27mm i have just read,3/4....? OMG ! 1/2 not man enough then? Mate I would be very greatful for borrowing those bits,can return next time im passing which is fairly regularly

[shaun5]

If its really tight and stud locked my home made tool might bend No worries about borrowing it as long as you can read my fault codes at the meet

[andyg plym]

well i have a blink code reader....never used it but it does work as bo showed me....completely forgotten now but i am sure someone will know

i can always leave it with you

1/2" breaker bars will break BTDT. 1/2" to 3/4" adapters will shear off too BTDT. Beg/borrow a 3/4" socket and bar, ideally a big torque wrench if you can get a hold of one.
