Changed the belt this week-end, not difficult,but, one thing the book does NOT make clear is how far in the pump locking pin should go I used a piece of 3/8" refrigeration grade copper pipe as a "poke" once the cover was off, and by turning the crank back and forth at TDC I found the the poke wanted to go a bit farther, so once the timing marks were set, belt and tensioner off and the pump sprocket jumped back, did not surprise me really as I was not convinced it was locked in position, so sprocket off and low and behold the "pin" really should have three dimensions, 1) inner diameter where it locates in the housing, 2) diameter where it goes through the sprocket and 3) length of these, as I was gouing to use the " A 3/8th drill can be used as a makeshift locking pin" method ut this is BS so I made up a "get by tool" a masonary drill of unknown size that fitted snug in the inner slot behind the sprocket and a disused socket that fitted the U shped hole in the sprocket drilled out to slide down the drill shank, like a clutch centering too, a bit of effing around I admit and I inend to have a word with a bloke I know with a lathe and have one made,
