I found a leak (which I believe is coming from my water pump. After I took off the right side timing belt cover to take a closer look...I saw that my entire belt was also torn to shreds (by now you probably realize my SVX doesn't run anymore). Either way. I decided that obviously I need to replace my belt. I managed to get all the bolts/pulleys off....except the crank pulley (main one). I'm wondering if anyone has done this...and if so...did they have any tricks on how to get the bolt loose on it. I can't get the engine to stop turning...so getting the bolt off has proved very difficult.
Thanks, Ryan |

This may cause some folks to flinch but I'll give you my suggestion anyway.
First, I've never done a belt on an SVX so you can take that for what it is worth. However, what I have tried in the past is to take the remains of the timing belt, run it over the teeth on the pulley and then put a pipe wrench over that. This should protect the teeth on the pulley. I think there is a "special" tool to grab the teeth on the fly wheel at some point, which would be the "professional" way to do it. Like I said, I've never done an SVX so someone else may know of a way to block the engine. G'luck. JP |
