Hello all, can you please help. I don't want to cut an access hole or drop the engine... But can you tell me how to access the pulley and remove the nut to change the fan belt? I've tried everything and would need four triple jointed arms it seems.
Also, how do you find TDC easily so I can adjust the valves? Thank you in advance. Ben |

First.. the timing marks. On a factory six flywheel there are timing marks already on it. If you don't have a factory flywheel, mark it the next time the engine is out. I did that, including the FE mark for the MFI.
Second, do you have the fan tool? If you do, then lay a blanket on the rear deck lid (or take the deck lid off completely), and lay down. Now you can reach around both sides of the fan housing to change the belt. You have to stack the shims by feel, but it can be done. |
