Cranshaft pulley replacement. How difficult?
« on: 29 September 2008, 12:15:14 »
I am replacing a V6 engine. “New” engine is leaking around crankshaft seals. It’s not bad yet, but as it’s still out, I am thinking about replacing seals and pulley (thread in 1 hole is damaged). Can you please advice what Torx socket size do I need to undo the bolt and how difficult it is to take the pulley out? After years this might be almost impossible to replace…

Not to hard to do, you MUST make up a bar that attaches to the cam belt crank pulley in order to undo the (I think E20) crank bolt or you rick hearing the sintered woodruff key on the pulley!

About 320Nm....so tight but, quite do-able

E20 is correct

320Nm… I don’t think my Torque Wrench is good enough and doing it by hand is bit risky. I have to think if not leave it as is. I don’t want to know what under/over tightening might cause.
