h100vw 0 Posted June 19, 2005 There is just a bolt and washer Bill. You need a 12 point/bi-hex socket to remove the std one 17mm. The DX as you have spotted is a 6 point Hex design. Gavin Yeah it's nnnn19 not 17 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted June 19, 2005 No, it's just a standard multipoint socket... 19mm IIRC Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Banana Man 0 Posted June 19, 2005 Your both right LOL mutipoint/ bi hex/ 12 point all come down to the same socket in the end :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billinjah 0 Posted June 19, 2005 cool i hope it comes off easily! ive heard you can just take it off and put the new one in is there any chance the pully could come off i take it the serp belt pully is bolted to the crank pulley which is on a spline so its pretty unlikely!?

h100vw 0 Posted June 19, 2005 You'll be OK. Be prepared with a big old bar to undo it with. Also required a mate with a big right leg for the brakes. You'll wonder how they break after you have undone one. GAvin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tempest 0 Posted June 20, 2005 Sorry to hear your parcel opened up during posting, but yes, there was just a bolt (22 mm hex head) and washer in there. The old stretch bolt has a 19 mm 12-point head. I couldn't get mine undone, so had to go to a garage where they had some air-powered impact guns, bolt then came out in less than 5 seconds. But, as there are 3 sprockets attached to each other, the outer 2 under strain by their relevant belts, the whole assembly nudged a bit, due to which the guy at the garage couldn't get the new bolt in properly. They had to undo the whole thing including timing belt (after they'd rounded off two of the 4 Allen bolts holding the 3 pulleys and vibration damper together), reposition the whole thing onto the crankshaft then re-insert the new DX bolt ! Good luck, is all I can say, as mine wasn't the easy job I'd imagined it to be (after the garage had finished they'd also overtightened the timing belt tensioner! Oh well, at least that was easy to rectify :lol:). Tempest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
