Hey guys looking to do camber change this month but have no air compressor to connect my air gun and was wondering is there anyway (other than leavering on the flywheel, which is easy if the engine is out, but it's not lol.. ) to lock the engine and stop it from turning whilst I leaver on the pully bolt to undo it :):confused:

Put the car on gear and someone press the break or if your feeling brave put a breaker bar on the pully jammed against the ground and crank the starter for a second

Do not hit the pully you will more than likely damamge it...you need a pulley puller you can pick the up from any decent motorfactor for about £10-£20

To get the crank bolt off use the starter motor.

Remove the EFI fuse.

Wedge a breaker bar on the bolt, if your on your own I use a jack to lock it in position.

Turn the engine over for a few seconds and it should have broken the bolt loose.

To get the pulley off, use a puller kit which locks onto the pulley and pulls it off. No need to hit it with a hammer.
