Ok cheers for the advice Rappy, is it simple to remove the rubber when the pulley itself is off? I take it it is an external bushing rather than sealed behind the timing case?

Righto, pretty sure i could borrow a big torque wrench from work. Take it i need to replace the crank bolt aswell? Is it worth checking for damage to the woodruff keys also? I have read about that technique, what do i disconnect to prevent the engine starting?

Hi folks, i have had a search around on the forum and think i have narrowed my problem down...anyway i will give some background incase i am wrong. I got to my mates house to find the landy making an awful noise when i pulled up so i immediately turned the engine off and when i started it it was...

Ok thanks...will build up a decent base with the etc primer then spray a few coats of satin on top...think i have a few cans of halfords satin in garage anyway. Would i be best painting or powdercoating the winch hook and rear corners which are chequer? Just thinking both are likely to get a bit...

Cheshire mate...do you mean sand blasted and primed? How much you charging per wheel out of interest and have u got any pics of wheels done? Thanks

Cool, looks like a cheap and easy job then! Have you any idea how well the alloys would come up 'coated? Reading through past posts all i can find out is that i am looking at anywhere between 20 and 50 pound per wheel
