there is a lot easyer way put a ratchet on the pully bolt and put the ratchet againest the engine mount and turn the key (do not start the car thou) i think the socket is an e18 | |

You're better off taking it to a garage to have it undone mate. I broke a breakers bar on it trying to undo mine. Got a free replacement one though :cool: | |

The socket I have is too small for my bar (I found it) | |

You won't undo it with a breaker bar. I tried to do it with mine. It's tightened to something like 175n/m :lol: | |

the bottom pulley need sto come off to change the cam belt and as the water pump is driven by the cam belt you need to do it first | |

but you say you can't get the rear cambelt cover off without, and cant get to the water pump/ thermostat housing with the rear cover on... | |
