    Save your money

    You will find the job a doddle, so save your money from the garage, and you do not need a torque wrench, just judge how much pressure it takes to undo the pulley and then use that memory to do it up. Easy

          Bad advice, ignore this drivel.

            That is a great pictorial tutorial....For the real novices amongst us a few arrows with text pointing out the key components would make it perfect.

                  Timing Belt Change

                  1x10mm socket with short extention arm.
                  1x10mm hex socket or 10mm Alan key.
                  1x22mm socket.
                  1x torque wrench
                  1x cambelt kit from roughtrax "optional"

                  NOTE: It is good practice to replace both pulley & tentioner when changing the cambelt.

                  First of all make sure the truck is in neutral & the hand brake is on.

                  Remove the 4 10mm bolts & 2 clips from the cam cover.

                  Using the 22mm socket turn the crank clockwise until you line the noch on the cam with the noch on the casting "TDC" & same goes for the crank & fuel pump noches.

                  NOTE: Never turn the engine using the cam sprocket or fuel pump.
                  If while turning the crank you encounter resistance, leave for 20 seconds while pressure releases & turn again.
                  Once you are happy that they are lined up you can then remove The tentioner "2x10mm bolts" & the belt will slide off with ease.


                  Now you can remove the idler pulley using the 10mm hex socket.


                  Fit the new tentioner & tighten to 7.8ft-lb or 9Nm but "DO NOT" pull the pin. Fit the new idler pulley & tighten to 25ft-lb or 34Nm.


                  Now slide the belt over the cam, idler pulley & fuel pump.


                  Push back on idler to take up the slack on the belt & double check all noches are in line. Once happy you can pull pin on tentioner.

                  One Final thing to do before putting cover on is to turn the belt 2 full revolutions "using the crank" to make sure all is in line & marks are still correct.

                  Start engine & have a quick look to make sure belt is running in line, once happy, switch off engine & replace cover.

                  JOB DONE.

                  IF I HAVE MISSED ANYTHING OR NEED TO EDIT ANY OF THE ABOVE PLEASE FEEL FREE TO MENTION IT AS THE BELT IS IMPORTANT AND I WOULDN'T WANT ANYBODY TO DAMAGE AN ENGINE DUE TO MY WRITE UP.

                  Thanks si.

                    In which case can anyone recommend a garage in central Scotland.

                    I travel about a bit so anywhere between, Glasgow and Edinburgh is fine.

                    As are east Ayrshire, Borders, north/south lanarkshire

                    Thanks

                            Well I'm only at odsal mate, if you want a hand I don't mind.
                            Be nice to get my head in a proper engine again.
                            If its not broke don't fix it.

                                To be fair it's probably a standard response without them realising the thing is old-school and can be accessed really easily.
