timing belt tensioner problems!!!!!! arghh!
Hey, I've nearly finished my timing belt replacement going through the headace of trying to get the crank pulley off. Finally got it off after going to three garages who could get it off with their air guns, the last one also worked on trucks so that got it off. Ive made sure that eveything was at TDC when it should have been and i'm now trying to tension the belt. I've searched and have found neumerous post about untighteing the bolt on the tensioner 180 degrees, then moving the crank pulley counterclockwise 3 "teeth" then tightening up the tension bolt. I've done this (to what i think was three teeth) and its still slack as hell, what am i doing wrong?? and the three teeth, what teeth are these, andddd what do i use as a marker to see that three teeth have passed it?
cheers
