When i did the belt on my 200tdi i ground a locking pin for the flywheel and that held while i torqued the pulley.
Just used a bolt that went through the wading plug hole without threading, ground the end to be a good fit in the timing slot on the flywheel, then wrapped tape around the bolt to stop it dropping out the hole.

Tremendous!Snap! wasn't mentioning it before you did
I wonder why he's doing that? Must be a promotional thing. Did he just charge you £37.50?No.
Tremendous!
Yes.
I didn't ask - we were too busy "talking" about helicopterers

Yes, seems to be a top bloke. I got an email this morning to tell me he had put it in the post and what the tracking number was. Very organised, fast and excellent communication. I did mention my Landy being a keeper and I was collecting LR tools to maintain it. He said he's put the other tools in to 'add to your collection'. What a gentlemanOK, Now shut up....LOL

Accepting the fact that I'm ever so slightly autistic, I think it's only fair that when they arrive I install them on the tool board and send him a picture.

Ok, Ok, I give up! Tell me where you want the carb cleanerYou know what I want to see..............have you moved it???
Cheers
I'll move it and take a picture to prove it On a serious note. Can't thank you enough for posting about the crank pulley tool and passing on Sean's contact details. Obviously, it's worked out embarrassingly well. Cheer, mate.
PS
Was the handle long enough to reach the chassis rail? I can't quite make it out in your picture.

Yes , it sat on the bottom of the rail, on the crush tube that my steering guard fits to. Should work perfectly in both directions. will let you know later this week.

+1 - thanks ever so much for that @neilly - with 2 of the "little darlings" to fettle, said tool has been on my wish list for a while. Wish I'd had it when I did the pump change 2 years ago - and SWMBO's timing belt is due in march...
Thanks again
