What are you going to change fan/aux belt and Crankshaft pulley, and the TIMING belt

 

Hi,

I need to replace the aux belt and crank damper pulley but not the timing belt.

cheers

 

Timing will not move,,
But you will need to undo crank nut.
Dont take aux belt off, until you have undone/loosened the nut.
As this extra pressure from aux belt stops the crank turning backwards,.
Once fitted and tightened. Make sure you turn the engine, by the crank nut, two full revolutions, clockwise.
Unless you are using air gun or impact gun, then you can hold the pulley by hand...

 

Alright, tnx. That is good news, I will give it a go once the parts arrive.

If anyone could suggest the brand of the belt and the torque specs it would be great.


Cheers

 

pulley nut 40 nm + 110 %.
Have used gates, and dayco..
As long as its not a cheap one, and you have heard of the company you should be ok

 

Hi,

So I have received the parts today and went about swapping them, but the bolt on the pulley didn't give in. So replaced the belt and the tensioner only (by the way the tensioner I've got from Gates was not clamped so keep that in mind). Is there any other way to remove the bolt without using impact wrench?

Cheers

 

We did a Petrol Scenic. By applying TOP Gear, Brat on brakes. Breaker bar & Scaff Tube.
We also, drilled a 1/2" hole in the Bellhousing at the bottom to insert a Flat screwdriver into the ring gear. To ensure nothing moved on re-tightening.

 

Success!

So I went and bought another 1/2" socket extension (3 in total), put it in sixth, asked someone to stand on the brakes, and gave it all I had and it finally came off. It is funny that you have to torque it to 40 nm+ and you need 100 nm+ to undo it but if you are persistent enough, you will get the job done. I have attached a photo of the parts.

Tnx to you guys for all of your help.

Cheers

 

Careful

pulley nut 40 nm + 110 %.

Ourkid may have stuffed in percentage sign instead of degrees (He's old and decrepid > ) but he meant degrees.
This is an angle torque setting.

Tighten to 40nm.... a reasonable pinch.
Then continue tightening a further 110 degrees angle

Yeah, I have probably went over the 40nm + 110 degrees. Just wanted to make sure it won't undo itself.
