I have been digging through timing belt and oil seal replacement procedures and only see removal of the cam and intermediate gear bolts when there is a timing belt to hold the top two gears from turning.
The only idea I have found is to wrap the broken timing belt around the cam and intermediate gears, one at a time, like a strap wrench and turn the bolt.
Can anyone confirm the cam and intermediate gear bolts are torqued to 36 ft-lb? Would a timing belt strap provide sufficient leverage?
- Crankshaft pulley bolt ... last timing belt replacement I put the car in 4th gear, blocked the wheels, and used the transmission to hold the crankshaft for the crankshaft pulley bolt removal. Anyone have cautions on using that method again?
