Guys I need some help. the baffle plate on the crankshaft pulley how does it come off? Do you have to use gear puller to get it off. Or take crankshaft bolt off? need to get the timing belt off this was my only snag in the process....

This is a question for Rocket.

You'll need to remove that bolt, My baffle then jiggled off, you may need a pulley puller for yours though.

With Rockets instructions, i just did this two days ago. Good luck

You will need to remove the crank bolt. The pulley will come off on its own will then, no puller needed.

Be sure to torque it properly upon reinstall.

Thanks Rocket!!!!!

I'm here to help!

I'm also going to be working on making a set of timing tools, for securing the crank, and keeping the cam gears locked. Set engine to TDC, lock, and go about your belt change

Rocket, that would help a lot.

MHowell, get another set of hands to help you, it was way easier with someone helping me.

Make sure the key in the crank goes back in the right way.

New water pump,timing belt,bearings and tension spring, what a job. If I EVER have to do that again I would definitely buy your timing tool rocket. and thanks again guys for the advice on everything.....
