HI fellas. Daughter two crept home with oil and tranny fluid leaking from her '79 242 flathood. She took my '88 until I can put new seals in front and in the ranny.
No problem with replacing the camshaft seal or the intermediate. But I cannot figure out how to hold the belt sprocket stationary and loosen the crankshaft bolt. It is lefty loosy counterclockwise, right? Never done this one before. I know on the '85 to '93 240's ipd sells a gizmo to hold things still while the nut is loosened. Nothing for the '79. Alas. Any tips would be appreciated. I tried visegrips, wedging a screwdriver into on of the belt slot up again the water pumps. No joy. Help. jg
