Discussion and technical advice the SW20 MR2. 3S-GTE, 3S-GE, 3S-FE etc
Anything and everything to do with maintenance, modifications and electrical is in here for the Mk2.
I am working on an engine to replace the knackered engine in our rev 2. The replacement engine (rev 3)is in the garage getting tidied up before we fit it in the car. I'm going to replace the timing belt but am stumped how to get the bottom pulley off. The gearbox is off the engine, sio how do I lock the crank shaft to allow me to undo the bolt on the pulley? Any suggestions are welcome.
I don't have a flywheel lock tool. Where do I find what the Toyota SST looks like and I'll try and make one. I'm guessing it locks against the ring gear.
Just to update. I used a crowbar to lock the flywheel ring gear and then a socket on the pulley bolt with a bar. I then used a heavy hammer to shock the bolt and it worked. I then used a bar with two holes matching the threaded holes in the pulley with two bolts to jack the pulley off, similar to the previous picture.
