Not that easy to do so not long after buying my first one I farmed the work out to a local "european specialist '' as I would be away @ sea,work was completed in time and under quotation when I returned. Almost 2 years later the pulleys all fell of the front of the engine ,not only was there a lot of damage done the car lost oil pressure @ high speed . It turned out the crank bolt hadn't been done up tight enough ,the torque is very high on this bolt due to the oil pump drive and must be torqued correctly using a flywheel lock. Ended up replacing the engine as shop refused to repair the original stating all the usual BS to take the blame off them. So its a do it once and do it right job ,cheers. |
