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 |

You can look in your closest for a steel bar...works well.

You can look in your closest for a steel bar...works well. Bicycle seat posts are perfect size to fit over a ratchet. Try to use an aluminum, it will hold up better than steel. As for immobilizing the crank, you can have someone hold the brake pedal or use a 2x4 wedged against the seat/brake pedal and roll the seat forward until its holding the pedal down. Make sure to put the transmission in 5th. If its an automatic you are SOL. |
