Need Timing Belt Tools

[JayB12]

Hi all, I want to get my timing belt out of the way this week and I am in search of a Jay Racing or similar tool kit to buy/borrow. If anyone has one or knows someone who does that would be great! I tried buying a new kit but they are sold out

^ The only tool you really "need". The rest can be done with improvisation.

You can collapse the tensioner carefully using a bench vise, and hold it in place with a drill bit until you're ready to pull the bit/pin once the eccentric is tightened. The belt can be held on the cam gears / cam gears can be held in alignment with zip ties.

The eccentric tool is an absolute necessity.

Awesomeness Thank you very much!

 

[JusMX141]

Quite welcome.

The reason I state that tool is a necessity is because I've been there / done that about 50 times both with and without the proper tools. The eccentric tool is the only way you'll be able to hold the pulley in one place so it doesn't turn while you're tightening the 14mm pinch bolt.

You would need a kit the day after I move from State College.

A pair of 90* snap ring pliers will do the job nicely too..
