Make sure you have all the tools needed for the job,handy tool is to use a allen key bit that will fit to a ratchet 3/8" drive so you can undo the allen key bolts on the front water pipes,makes life easier,just make sure you use the correct size,if you dont have an air tool to undo the crank pulley wheel you may struggle,if you have manual transmission place car in 5th gear then use a big breaker bar and undo bolt they are torqued to over 200lb so you will need some might,if you have auto you need to wrap an old ancillary belt around the water pump and double over on to the crank pulley wheel,this then strangles the crank pulley enabling you to place pressure on it without it turning,old fashioned way is to remove the starter motor and place a prybar in the flywheel/ringgear whilst someone apply pressure to the 27mm bolt,to much hassle :rolleyes: !just take your time and follow the guide below,also use a light or torch as there are several hidden bolts around the front covers use a 1/4" ratchet with small extension to reach the awkward ones.

The only thing you might struggle on is the cam belt, i never done a full service on a zed, changed the oil and spark plugs, but if like other cars, get the cam belt erong or miss aligned and big probs. maybe worth doing the rest an then getting some one else to do the cam belt? just an idea

thanks Darkside and Greg.....here goes!! :wack: :)

A little update... Got quite a lot done today...but....Within the 60k kit I received from ztech are 5 oil seals.. I have a fair idea where they go, but can anyone confirm exactly where?

1 for the front crank seal,once you remove the crank pulley and the cambelt remove crank sprocket and its behind there,sometimes the sprocket don't come off easily :rolleyes: soak in wd-40 prior to removal

 

4cam seals remove all 4 sprockets at the top and there behind there

 

that link covers removal of all the sprockets and fitting bud :cool:

thanks Greg, much appreciated bud....one last thing.....I spoke to ryan today about the large air con condenser rad that sits infront of my new koyo ( just to confirm what it was..thanks Ryan ) ... Would removal of the whole air con system , not make cooling better and take a fair bit of weight out too...
