Well mission accomplished!!! I got the four bolts out. Combination of sockets, brute force and ignorance. Although I will be needing new bolts, 3 out of 4 are knackered. Anyone know part numbers of where I can get these??
Got a set of pullers onto the other pulley and it pulled off nicely.
Basically I am changing the cylinder head (got a recon one to go on) Head is ready to come away from block. Just got the timing belt and the 8 splined cylinder head bolts to come off. Then I will be ready to remove the cylinder head. Exhaust downpipe disconnected etc.
A little apprehensive about timing belt, never done one before. Got a replacement belt and tensioner. Which I will be doing When I change the head.
Haynes says to mark it all up before removal of timing belt, but as I am changing the head surely I will have to do that all over again when I set the timing. I was struggling to see any marks on the inner pulley I removed which are meant to line up with intermediate sprocket
Hope this helps you understand what I am on about.
This video 31 seconds in, Can anyone explain why I need to line the pulley with the sprocket at 1 min 13 seconds. I presume it is beacause it is attached to crankshaft sprocket???
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IV8sCkQeO1kShould I just mark it all with tipex?
Surely when I change the head I will align camshaft sprocket at flange on the head, align dizzy for number 1 spark, and flywheel TDC.
This will be a steep learning curve, but I am enjoying this!!
