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 |

I will try a socket again, though I was getting enough torque on it that the socket got stuck on the bolt on my last attempt and actually is starting to round the bolt (and this is with 19mm not a 3/4). I can't get a long bar in there since its still in the engine and there isn't clearance to come out the top...
LOL - it this doesn't work I am going to have it towed to the mechanic down the street and pay him $50 bucks to take it off and save my sanity! |
