the pics are for the 2nd part of my post!


there is a gear on the front part of the crank behind the front cover which the timing belt rides on...thats what i'm trying to get off.

You can use the Toyota "special tool" I normally use a pair of pry bars and carefully lever it off.

yeah for prybars!! my tool of choice as well!! notice ij said CAREFULLY!!!

OK,just wanted to make sure before i tear sumthing up! btw these cars probably have to be the easiest to do T-belts on. I work at a nissan dealership as a tech,,,these are gravy compared to those!!

thanxx again

Wonit: You're welcome

Generally they come off easily, I had a motor someone had "fixed" using DevconA it's a Titanium Epoxy.

This motor had suffered a loose balancer and trashed the crank snout so the Genuis had Epoxied the Pullies and Balancer on...... DOH

Took me an entire day to get it all off and I ended up trashing everything from the block forward

 

[WonIt]

yeah...that would suck greatly.lol

 

[IJ.]

LOL yeah it did!

I figured it wasn't going to beat me

Ended up using the Oxy torch on the Crank pully you're trying to remove.
