timing belt tool

Post by rlmiller »

Has anyone tried to make one of the factory tools that hold the camshafts from moving during a timing belt change. One of those would have made my life much simpler last year.

Isn't this in another thread?

Those things were/are a total pain in the ass. Easier to do it all by hand. You literally had to wrestle it into place unless the motor was out of the car, the stand on your head to "view" it. It took more time to bolt on than to just do the belt manually.
