Recently I had to change the water pump on the JTD and discovered that you have to take the cam pulley off. With a special tool.
I got round it by using an old cam belt wrapped round held into place with molegrips and off it came quite easily.
I have since made a tool with an anti-rot post seat for concreting posts into the ground and some 1 x 14 x 14 mm steel square tube. First photo the two bits, post seat and the tube low down in the pic, are on the engine cover.
I cut two bits of tube to make inserts that will go into the cam pulley holes and "hey presto" 15 mins with the arc welder and I've got the same tool as the Fiat one. Almost.
Take care not to crush the little sensor that sits at about 5 oclock behind the pulley.
The idea (for those of you without the manual) is that you use this tool to hold the pulley in place whilst inserting a socket through the free space in the centre of this tool onto the exposed cam pulley bolt and doing it up to the right torque with a torque wrench.
The second photo shows the tool in place with the two "fingers" in the cam pulley holes. The next step is to do up the centre bolt in the middle.
