Dan_kewell Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Hi there. I'm looking to change the timing belt and my Haynes manual says I need to remove all sorts of parts like cylinder head cover, starter motor and I need some specialist tools to lock the flywheel ring gear. Please could some on tell if they know of a quicker way or is this correct. Cheers in advanced Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might as well change the tensioners etc. at the same time. Its not difficult with the right tools and equipment but if you are really unsure in my opinion get a local garage or mate who knows how to do it, as if you get it wrong it can be a problem.

pragmatix Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 You do need to remove the starter motor as this is where the locking tool bolts across there are no short cuts that I know of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_kewell Posted March 9, 2018 Author Share Posted March 9, 2018 Yea was gonna change the tensioner and water pump while I was there. It just seems very long winded and was hoping there was a quicker way😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
