In the next few months its timing belt kit time. Are there any gadgets about to lock the crankshaft ? eg a plate that bolts in the starter motor bolt holes etc or i have seen those slip knot gripper type webbing things that grip around the pulley itself. I dont want to remove the radiator etc to buzz gun the pulley bolt off unless i really have to.

i stuck mine in gear and got a mate to put his foot on the brake to help hold as the hand brake wont be strong enough hope this helps. wiggy1

Breaker bar on the n/s chassis rail covered with a cloth so it doesnt damage the paint.
A very quick crank of the starter and the bolt will be undone.

10mm Allen Key locked into the flywheel through the rubber blanking bung by the turbo - works ever time.
