turbominicooper Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 (edited) need some guidance on how to strip these bits: pulley & lower timing cover (ive tried hitting it off bu have only managed to damage it so far) camshaft nut (ive tried to get a 10mm on it but just slips and cant get 9mm on, all the rest came off easy): Edited June 6, 2015 by turbominicooper Quote Link to post Share on other sites
russ78 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 you need to either block the crank so it cant move and use a breaker bar to undo the 19mm crankshaft pulley bolt or use a battery rattle gun to undo it buddy. as for the camshaft bolt it looks as though its been rounded off at some point I had this a few times .... used a pair of mole grips as its only tightened to 7nm so don't need much to budge it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

russ78 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 (edited) oh sorry yeah I see you have removed the bolt as above use said tool or put two screwdrivers behind it and edge it off bit by bit but looks like you chipped it already. Do not use any kind of heat as the damper has rubber in and it will just melt .. Edited June 6, 2015 by russ78 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

funny onion Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I tapped my bottom pulley off with a nylon hammer (gently) opposite sides and it came off without too much drama. Proper puller may do the job better mind! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flaminsam Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 A decent set of six sided sockets goes a long way when removing the camshaft bolts. Can pick up a set from machine mart for a few quid. The bottom pulley can be a bit of a pain sometimes. Like Charl said a decent puller with two mate bolts on the two opposing holes will do the trick. That's how we remove stubborn bottom pulleys.

Calum122 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I had no choise but used a metal wedge! Like a cheese wedge, I just slid the wedge all sides of the pulley and gentley hammered it through. As for that bolt, can be a RIGHT bastard! I locked to nuts at the top together. So when you undo the bottom one it moved the bolt. I then put a 10 mill spanner on the bottom to help. So effectively twisting it from two locations, seems to work. I had to make my own studs in the end cause I cut a few off to get to them! SUCKS! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
