95 Radiator and Cambelt
 

I need to replace my Rad due to a leak, i want to do the cambelt as well. Is this the best time to do it while i take the rad off?

What is involved in changing the cam belt?

Any advice would be great.

Yes, while the cam belt can be changed with the rad in place, it is far easier with it removed.

It quite an easy job (you can download a pre97 workshop manual from http://www.jimclarkeracing.co.uk/sco...7/premy97.html ).

From memory,
Remove rad - remove alterator/aircon belts - remove crankshaft pulley bolt (very tight, car in gear, someone pressing the brakes, plenty of leverage) - remove plastic covers - line up timing marks on the cam pulleys - release tension on belt - remove belt.

The new belt has timing lines which line up with the cam pulleys.

Refitting is a reversal of removal (as they say). :norty:

Check the manual for the procedure. ;)

Cheer mate.

That looks good! :D
