jeebowhite Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 So I am watching the episode with the NIssan Skyline, and Fuzz just gave the best answer for changing a timing belt... seriously, why on earth do we faff with all these different special tools and bits and bobs? Cut the tming belt down the centre all the way so you now have two belts installed.... removed the outer belt, leaving the inner one in place, pick up your new belt and slide it on. Now pull up the old belt and slash it to remove it, then push the new belt fully in place! WOW! something so simple and yet replaces something so complex!!!

MattDRX Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 In all fairness using cam locking tools is preferred, don't want them moving a little when belting it back up. rest of the stuff isn't really needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all fairness using cam locking tools is preferred, don't want them moving a little when belting it back up. rest of the stuff isn't really needed. true that, but if the belt is holding everything together when you slide the new one on though,even if you wedged something in between the cogs to assist in them not turning, it makes the job much easier!
