Crankshaft pulley holder tool

[Bling]

Buy the gun anyway, just sit it in the engine bay and give it a few runs

was hoping to justify a new rattle gun but if thats not the way to do it ill get the sst - it will take me 4 hours to get the raw materials and cut and weld a diy version anyway so i may as well buy it.

Cheers for the advice as always mate

Hey dudes
Anybody have one of these tools I could use/rent? Spent this morning ripping down the front end of the engine bay for cambelt change only to be thwarted by the crank pulley bolt, even with high torque rattle gun. Google tells me one of the crank pulley bracing tools should do the trick, anyone got one they can loan for cash/beer?

If the spending advisor has given the go ahead to spend money I'd just take it to a mechanic and make it their problem

Thing is if I take it to a garage all they will do is do it up with a rattle gun... 50% of the reason i do this stuff myself is because I have never found a trustworthy mechanic who actually does it properly - they forget stuff or do it up too tight or forget to connect something... its a hassle - not as much of a hassle as this mind you - will get them to do the big stuff in future.

They know what they are doing and roughly how tight their gun will go, and if it will be too much

Hmmm, they have always been a hard act to follow

- oil filters and sump plug done up way too tight
- wheel nuts done up way too tight (potentially the reason my disks warped and needed to be replaced and no way to change a flat while on the road)
- Speedo cable left disconnected

the list goes on - based on the above I have a hard time believing they know what they are doing - but thats albany toyota, ill go north shore toyota in future.

Hey I was talking in general terms about one specific thing! Don't get me started on wheel nuts!
