JoJo2222 Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Hi, i haveva 2003 1.4 tdci and need to renew the crankshaft pulley. My 2 questions are ..... 1, do I need to lock the flywheel or can I just wiz the bolt off normally? 2, if I do need to lock the flywheel off, where is this hole the Haynes talk of. Does anyone have any pictures as these can speak a thousand words. many thanks Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoJo2222 Posted July 16, 2018 Author Share Posted July 16, 2018 To answer my own question, in case anyone come across this in the future. 1, yes it needs to be locked. 2, looking at front of car, just above the flexi exhaust pipe there is a 12mm hole to insert a rod into.... rotate crankshaft until the rod engages in flywheel hole then it’s very easy to undo crankshaft pulley bolt. Acvording to Manuel you do not need a new bolt... just apply thread lock compound to it. Ive just done mine in 30 mins and it is not so much quieter and smoother. so thanks to me.

chongobambino Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Could this be done by using a 12v ratchet gun, thus avoiding having to lock the flywheel off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoJo2222 Posted July 16, 2018 Author Share Posted July 16, 2018 It might do to unlock it but possibly won’t tighten up as The bolt spins around with the pulley. You need to lock the flywheel to prevent it rotating. I did it with a 10mm drillbit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
