Mk4Gaz Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 You have to remove the crank pulley, to remove the lower timing belt cover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 You can undo the bolt on a manual by putting it in gear and having someone hold the brake pedal while you attack it! If you have x2 bolts (extra washers would help) that fit in the crank pulley holes you can rotate the pulley so these are horizontal and then lie a spanner on top and hold it down as you use a 22mm spanner to unwind the crank pulley nut against it and it'll pull off the crank pulley. In case you have none of the proper tools and don't want to remove the rad etc to use a normal puller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
