kiall Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 Hey all going to be doing my uncles disco timing havent done one yet though ive done alot of other work on them at work , couple worrys when removing the crankshaft bolt ive seen the guides of using a 27mm on a breaker bar , has anyone had anything go wrong this way , also whats the distance between the center as i will need to make a puller for for pully , is a 75mm on centers , and m8? ht alan head bolt what lenth though , thanks Quote
bazza Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 i have found that the crank bolt will come undone using a breaker bar the proper way (by hand!), just put the disco in gear and handbrake on fully, providing you have some muscle! Usually tight for a couple of turns due to loctite. All the 200 and the the 300 tdi i have done the crank pully has come of with a little nudge form a pry bar, no puller required, maybe i have been lucky! Quote

Les Henson Posted October 29, 2007 Posted October 29, 2007 A thick bar of steel - two 9mm holes 75mm centre to centre, Threads in the crank damper are M8 coarse thread. Can't remember the bolt length, but I think it's 100mm. Les. Quote
