Have just started changing the timing belt on our brava this weekend and have a few questions i'm hoping you lot could answer for me.
First thing, Got the cam and crankshaft locking tools made by laser. Cam lock fitted on fine, set to TDC...
went to put the crank tool on and it doesn't seem to line up properly, looks like the crank is a tooth out to me as it wont line up with the bolts on the oil pump, what do you reckon?
Taking the fact that it doesn't line up properly away i don't understand how you are meant to get the old belt off, new one on with this tool in place? Haynes just doesn't seem to mention this.
Finally, surely it never came out of the factory with this hole like this?
Looks kinda mangled to me?
