Jam it with a screwdriver? Car in gear and use a big bar? Not sure how people usually do it, at work we just use an air gun to undo the pulley bolt. | |

They have an automatic tensioner on them. Check the water pump while its in pieces but other than that its an easy job. | |

As above really, in the middle of changing the timing belt on my 1998 corsa, was wondering are there any tensioners on there I should know about, or if theres a certain tension the belt should be when fitted new? |
