Hi All,
I am in the process of doing my timing belt and figured I would do the waterpump as well as it has never been done and the car has 350 000 ks on it. Now i have a 1HD FT engine in my 80 series and I have come to the point of removing the camshaft pulley. The manual says that you need to put a shifter on the hex section of the camshaft to hold it and undo the nut on the timing pulley. I have seen this being done on 1HZ engines but with the 24 valve engine there is part of a bridge on the back side of the hex that prevents me from getting a good grip on this camshaft.
I am sure other people have done this job before, so I was wondering if anyone knows about this problem and how they fixed it.
Regards,
Danny
