Crankshaft Pulley Failure

Ok thanks everyone

I hope you managed to get the bolt undone, I youse a tool like this to undo tight bolts with not much room.




Then you hit it with a hamer like you mean it! :lol:

And I tighten it like this.

But everyone is different. :silly:

Yeah thanks......In the end, the rad was removed to create more space....and the bolt was undone with an 18v impact wrench
The pulley came off in two pieces when removed. New pulley was installed with another two new belts :woohoo: & fresh bolt torqued up as per manual. Rad re installed with fresh coolant. Road test went well apart from an occasional squeal from the power steering tensioner which I shall be replacing as soon as I can get one off Martin. :laugh: Bottom pulley was £140 +vat from Suzuki, drive belts were £18 for 3 :blush: . Its all systems go now .......next job, wheel spacers.......hammerite the rear arches /chassis & paint the rear drums after cleaning crud off all 4 wheel faces to see if I can eradicate the 45mph wheel wobble.......I can honestly say, after doing a road test around the lanes last night,.... I am almost immune to the crashing from the suspension, screaming of the engine & the wobbly steering, in fact it seems almost normal :lol:
