Bottom pully help please.

[nutta]

iv just changed head gaskets and need to know what the best way of getting the bottom pully off so i can adjust the cambelt tensioner.

Or do i not need to remove the bottom pully to adjust the cambelt tensioner??

cheers

You dont need to remove the bottom pulley that goes to the water pump/alternator.this isnt in the way of tensioner.i have recently had to remove/refit the belt as had the whole engine apart. Regards

how do i get the tensioner on full tension without removing it??

cheers

you have to remove the cover to access the tensioner iirrc so in order to remove the crank pully rotate it by the cam with the notch for the spanner in it then pry the crank pully then rotate the cam gear again and pry the pully then repeat the process until it becomes loose it takes patience tbh lots of it specially if you are doing it on your own.. oh the memories lol

iv already taken the cambelt off though, everytime i turn it its just spinning, can i get some sort of pully holder or something?
