Disco 2 Replacing TD5 Crankshaft pulley

mad85 · Sep 30, 2024

so was looking into replacing the crankshaft pulley as it started squeaking a bit and found this video:

Instead of making up a tool to hold the crankshaft while undoing and tightening the pulley, this bloke just locked the flywheel. Is this safe or do i run the risk of damaging something, considering the torque measurements in question? seems A LOT easier like this!

yes, i have seen it on discovery2.co.uk but locking the flywheel with the laser tool (i already have it!) would make it so much easier i recon

looking at Rave manual it seems to suggest use of the lever rather than locking the flywheel

That bolt is rather tight, you need something strong to lever against.
Give it a try, what could go wrong?

yes that is why i thought the pin is a great idea, it would allow me to use both hands on the torque wrench
