I am in the process of replacing the timing belt.
I have the vehicle disassembled and I am trying to loosen the cam gears, but they don't seem to be budging. I have already bent the cam alignment bar slightly (straightened it though), and I can't seem to figure out how to "keep the cam from turning with an open wrench". I don't want to place a wrench somewhere and then need a new cam due to breaking something.
Also, the Variable cam gear has an odd looking bolt behind the plug. A 15mm socket fits, but I don't want to change using it if it will damage it......any words from someone more experienced is greatly appreciated.
Can anyone help please? I will wait patiently, with my car disassembled..........
Thanks,
Vincent
