Arrghhh - bottom pulleys - who'd have 'em?

[The Lovely Boyo]

Hello

Changed the timing belt on the pick up today.

Feeling smug as the bottom pulley bolt was found to be hand tight - naughty.

However, the pulley was that rusted onto the crank it took an hour to get it off - bl00dy hell it was tight!!! And the belt looked like it had been on there for years.

But alls well and all that and its back together and running lovely.

[POPEYE]

Mine was opposite way round, i really thought the f**ker was going to shear off, tried smacking the spanner with a lump hammer to "shock" it free, would'nt have it in the end it was brute force and a long bar, bent the spanner up well tho, i split a socket first try,
Belt fell on tho, give me a timeing chain anyday, noisy but easy!
