I have a 1996 Celica GTS Convertible with a 2.2. I need to replace the water pump and to do that need to remove the timing belt (arrgh!!!). I got it to to TDC and have good access to the 3/4" bolt and am using an impact wrench but still cannot get the bolt to come off. My impact wrench just goes and goes and my concern is that it is actually starting to round the bolt.
Any suggestions on how to get this thing off? Thanks! Wil |

Or if the motor won't start or is out of the car I found that lots of PB Blaster and the use of a propane torch (obviously not at the same time) works well. -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money

Just put a old rag between the metal chain. Remember you are going to have to torque it to around 150 lbs to tighten back up. |
