Howdy, started replacing water pump today, and preparing for underdrive pulley from smithy :hyper: , but only got as far as the accesory belts!

 

anyone got any suggestions for moving the top left pulley, (think its power steering pump)so loosening the front belt, and undoing the bolt holding the main pulley on (27mm)! :headvswal

 

been following the ttzd timing belt tutorial and its gone really well up till then! :headvswal

 

rarrgh!

 

Ta!

http://www.ttzd.com/tech/pulleytech.html Is that the one you have been following? Just wondering.

power steering cut old belt off :D

 

see in pic slacken off tensioner bolt under ps pump theres 2

 

one bolt gives movement of ps pump the other just clamps it in place

 

then theres a bolt going through pulley wheel 17mm IIRC you will need extension to reach through hole obviously :D

 

wiggle ps pump until it moves left to right,remember to make sure there is enough play in the runner loosen bolts until enough slack is gained,fit belt repeat procedure until tight

 

sorry if iv baffled you its dead easy once you figure it out,i had this problem when i did it

if you have an auto then i think you have to remove starter motor stick scredriver..carefully in ring gear,then use a long leverage bar or ratchet with 27mm socket,good quality one,and lever until bolt is removed,use a gear puller and wind it up until pulley comes off crank,some use rubber mallet it dont work :(

 

i have a manual so i put it in 5th gear remove bolt job done :) another reason to buy a manual

 

cheers greg

it is a manual just cant get the bolt off! it is very temptin just to cut the old belt off, think i need a longer bar for the pulley!

get a long bar,make sure the car is in 5th gear turn anti-clockwise with lots of leverage it will undo eventually :D
