id do that and change the cam shaft sensor aswell and the crank angle sensor always comes up as a fault as the engine isnt running

this actually reminds me i have an ecu light perminatly on with fault codes 19 ans 92.... crank shaft angle sensor and cam shaft angle sensor....

i think it could be the crank shaft pulley though cos when the car is running the crank shaft pulley erm.... wobbles:o .

this indicates to be that i didnt seat it right when i put it on or its buckled....

have to fix that little fecker...

undo it normally with the correct star socket and a long breaker bar

Not reverse thread! You'll have him tightening the bastard up more!

Big ass breaker bar....

a torque wrench shouldn't be used in reverse.
apparently this fugs up the calibration of it.
a breaker bar would be a better bet

as the lads said car in fifth gear... get someone to stand on the brakes... use your torque wrench to get some leverage on it....

simple pimple....

5th gear is best to do this in, and its a reverse thread too if i remember rightly...

right its easy!

put it in gear. get some1 else too put there foot on the break. it wont move then!

is it like the 2 litre ones? 6 bolts round the outside...

put a powerbar on it and crank the engine just enuff to crack the booger off :lol:

I'm doing my headgasket and have got stuck removing the crankshaft pulley. i cant undone the bolt holding it on. its a 1.4 8v sri
also been having trouble stopping the crankshaft pulley from turning. it says to put it in 5th gear and apply brakes. but the bastard still has movement. help me please!!
