Timing belt issues

[AlexMozza]

Having just looked through the guide but am a little confused on how to change the timing belt as the guide says i need a special 3/4 star nut :O

Checked with halfords and they have not got one so is there any other way I can move the star bolt to TDC as i only need to move the engine not dismantle it.

Hopefully thats not to hard to understand

Ta!

Not sure exactly what you mean here. Are you talking about turning the engine to line up the marks?

[AlexMozza]

Yah to get it to TDC

[harlemex]

I think you mean the crank pulley bolt. Thats a standard hex isnt it?

I think it's a 18 or 19mm 12 point socket.

[harlemex]

Above yes. You can use an ordinary 12 point socket on it.

ohhh thanks, ill gave a look and see if it works

if your struggling to find a socket, a 19mm(ithink) ring end of a spanner fits perfectly
