Title: Timing tools for 1.9 aaz
Post by: Henchman on August 20, 2009, 08:40:05 am

Hi All,

Can anyone tell me if this kit on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380142846001&viewitem=&_trkparms=tab%3DWatching (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380142846001&viewitem=&_trkparms=tab%3DWatching)  would do for a timing belt change?  Is is more than I need or perfect if I can afford it?

Thanks for the input!

Ian

That depends. If your pump has the 2 piece pulley you don't need any of that fancy stuff. All you need is a 6mm drill bit (or SAE equivilant), and a flat bar to lock the camshaft.

I believe I have a 2 piece pulley.  Pulley bolts to flat circular plate that is held on by a bolt/woodruff?  Is this the method where you lock it down and mark all the pulleys/belt and reassemble witht the new belt and all the marks in the same place?  I have read that this can be difficult and that keeping everything lined up is difficult.

Opinions?

no, the 2 piece pulley is the one thats super easy. you dont have to hardly time *** that way, just make sure the cam is where its supposed to be. you take the 4 bolts off the pulley and take it off that way, then you dont have to un-time anything.
