I rather grind away the inside of the 21mm socket ... if I am going to grind anything. Same labor. works better.
Here is what I use, Pretty simple to make. A little flat stock from the hardware store and two thumb screws. I tapped the bottom plate. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
After much effort, I finally got the left bank belt on with the YELLOW marks matching. Right bank timing belt I have not touched yet What did I use to move the PULLEYS? - 16 INCH WRENCH with 4" opening - A LEATHER BELT Slide the belt around 1/2-2/3 of the pulley and grip it with the wrench at an angle, opened up to at 4 inches or so. Nothing else worked! You will need some muscle Now My question for the experts, considering I have not followed procedure, are the Yellow Marks matching each other enough to know that these CAMS are correct in relation to the crank? Is there somewhere, something I can check to make certain before cranking the engine later? Image Unavailable, Please Login
Glad you got it back ! I'm not an *expert* .... But if you've been turning the engine by hand and the pulleys are coming back to their expected position every 2 full turns, you're good to go.
I think this is why my drivers side cam cap weeps a bit. Gasket was supposed to be replaced at FoNE last time but maybe they forgot? Belts probably next year and NOT by me
