I have a 1996 Celica GTS Convertible with a 2.2. I need to replace the water pump and to do that need to remove the timing belt (arrgh!!!). I got it to to TDC and have good access to the 3/4" bolt and am using an impact wrench but still cannot get the bolt to come off. My impact wrench just goes and goes and my concern is that it is actually starting to round the bolt.
Any suggestions on how to get this thing off? Thanks! Wil |

X3 on using the starter to remove the bolt... I removed mines with the engine outside of the car since i also snapped my timming belt and decided to go with a full rebuild it being my first experience with an interference engine didnt wanna chance throwing a water pump and belt at it and end up having some bent valves! Good luck getting that bolt off

Did some research and you are right they are a non interference engine! I bought my st204 for dirt cheap since the seller was told it was an interference engine and it bent valves when the belt broke... Turns out it didn't bend any valves -------------------- 1994 ST204- 5sfe Currently being rebuilt 1994 AT200-Awaiting Build |
