I'm trying to determine if I need any special tools to replace the timing belt on my 7afe.
I did a little digging and found the pdf's for the tech manual & they show a special tool when you remove the belt. Is it really needed? EDIT: It's called "SST" & it is pictured for the crankshaft pulley removal. Is this just a pulley puller? END EDIT Also, I'm assuming I need to get a new belt & idler pulley, a new valve cover gasket, and a new water pump/gasket. Did I miss anything? I'm assuming Toyota parts are the way to go, right? Sorry for all the questions, but I'm new to Celicas. Thanks! This post has been edited by Brightside: Mar 20, 2008 - 9:30 AM |

QUOTE(scothaniel @ Mar 24, 2008 - 10:38 AM) [snapback]657280[/snapback] Thats where the high torque impact comes in! Apparently, mine doesn't have enough torque (like my 200k 7AFE - LOL!). I ended up making a tool this weekend. I welded two tabs onto a piece of 3/16" bar stock (at about 45* angles) and spaced them so that they would grip the webbing of the balancer. I left the bar stock long enough (about 20") so that the tool would brace itself against the garage floor as I turned the crankshaft bolt. Problem solved. The same tool worked great to re-install the bolt. Thanks for help - I drove the car to work this morning. This post has been edited by Brightside: Mar 31, 2008 - 7:42 AM |
