How To Replace A Timing Belt (20/25/26) Pics!

[Aleksej.]

Hi guys,

I have been having the same problem, to get the crank pulley off, but on automatic skyline. To remove or to tighten the pulley bolt there is no common way to stop crankshaft, like put the car in 5th + hand brake up. I designed my own stopper and puller. It cost me about 35€ and the tool works pretty well. Here some pictures:

Brilliant stuff, well done!

Now start making them on the side and sell them!

I just want to triple check. This woodford key doesnt need to slide into the gear sprocket on the camshaft right? 

It's just the woodford key, a backplate that will push up against the gear when I slide the harmonic balancer on. If I recall the woodford key holds the harmonic balancer on this slot here.

There's another key for the gear

Well shit. I dont remember it having one when I pulled the balancer out. I bagged everything as I took it apart and labeled it.

Im pretty confident the other one is still in there. I did not remove the crankshaft gear and if I had I'd have seen it. I only removed the harmonic balancer. 

So when I install it, its gonna be the woodruff key (making sure its firmly in place), then the plate that sits against the crankshaft gear, balancer, spacer and bolt then tighten to specs.

That's correct. If you didn't touch the gear no worries. A woodruff key can't slide out

what about torque specs when putting everything back on? there are also a few good YouTube videos to watch before just following this guide. Id recommend changing the water pump whilst you are there. Anyone know if the OEM or the same as the Greddy or HKS belt kits? I don't know If its advertising or they all are the same shit?
