Guys,
I've looked through various guides on this site wrt head gasket changes. I'm now at the point where the inlet and exhaust manifoilds are removed, however at a loss on how to loosen off the timing belt.
I'm aware of the t/belt tensioner which is sited behind the lower plastic cover, however to remove the cover i need to remove the aux belt crank pulley and unfortunately I can't loosen the belt off due to the allen bolt arrowed in the picture <!-- l --><a class="postlink-local" href="http://www.306oc.co.uk/forum/download/file.php?id=1003&mode=view" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">download/file.php?id=1003&mode=view</a><!-- l --> being jammed on.
Is there any other way to loosen/remove the timing belt so that the head can be lifted off?
