you need a decent 1/2" 21mm socket and the longest 1/2" bar you can get !

Mark_Dj

Extension bar? So it would be sticking out near to the drivers wheel?

Daz

I use a short one.....attached to my 1/2 air gun lol.......but yes you need along one to take it out nearer the wheel....

vocky

I mean a breaker bar like this ..........

If I use an extension bar to give me some lever will that help? Like put a few extension bars on the socket so I have the extension just popping out to the drivers wheel

Mark_Dj

Thats me done for tonight. I have that bolt loose so next time I have a go at the chain It won't be so hard. Thanks for the help so far 🙂

Mark_Dj

Right I am going to have a bit more of a play with my engine. Today I want to remove the oil nozzle to see if it was a small one or the newer kind. I have the crank bolt loose ready to remove. Do I need to do anything else first, before I remove it? It it worth replacing anything else while I have this stripped down? I was thing about getting a new cam chain guide and the other chain kit if anyone has the part numbers for me 🙂.

Cheers Daz, does that kit come with a new cam chain guide? When I remove the crank bolt does anything need to be lined up first? Cheers

That is what I'm wondering too. My cam chain kit came with everything, guides bolts etc. £107 from Vauxhall.

Daz

The kits come with everything thats required.....u can line up the timing mark on the pully with the line on the front cover first if you require mark.....that way u know the timing is somewhere near b4 u start...

Mark_Dj

Cheers Daz 🙂

Mark_Dj

How do I line the marks up first. I have the crank bolt half out now, so I might not be able to turn the crank to line things up.

Mark_Dj

Right, how do I remove the aux belt? Do I just take the bolt out on the arm it's on?

Daz

theres a 3/8 drive hole in the tensioner mark....u need to use a ratchet in there and lever the tension off...

Mark_Dj

I just grabed it with my hands and pulled it up over to get some slack. How do I get the bottom crank wheel off next Daz?

Daz

remove bolt and it shud just come off mark.....maybe get a screwdriver or lever behind it and a little pressure may be reqiured...

Mark_Dj

It sure did just pop off. Now I have removed lots of those 10mm holding the cover on for the chain, it seems to be stuck still. I can see a 13mm bolt I think that might have to come off

Daz

the 13mm bolt needs to come out....its about 5 inchs long tho lol.....

Mark_Dj

Well I did what I wanted to do and that was to see what oil jet I had fitted to my car. Here it is....

So have I done all this for nothing? 20.gif . I have not botherd to set any marking up yet as I don't think I had to yet what..
