I had a Taurus before my 3000GT, hated it.

But I have to say my grandpa is awesome I was telling him how much it was for those stupid mitsu tools for the timing belt change. So what does he do....


Made me an amazing working end yoke holder!!

Thats bad-a, should work way better than my oem mitsu one too. Honestly I was just gonna show you a few tricks where you dont even need that tool, but it doesnt matter now. Just let me know when you need that tensioner spanner wrench.

I put the pulley back on and the tensioner pin has to be pulled is there suppose to be no tension at all or can there be a lil force when i pull the pin out...cause idk why i need that tension spanner cause i seem to have enough tension unless i pull the pin and it screws up??

There should be no force when you pull the pin, its a very fine line and is very hard to get perfect but its not absouletely necessary. I dont see how you could have even close to the right amount of tension without rotating the pulley though.

The 2 holes should be close to the top of the pulley and horizontal. After you pull the pin you should be able to rotate the engine around and then be able to put the pin back in if you did it perfectly.

Yup got all of that, I can put the pin back in just have to give it a lil bit of force to get it in but it will go in

You should be fine then, what did you use to roatate that pulley?

[Mychal1216km]

I let it rotate itself until what it looked like in the pictures and tightened it down and it didnt rotate on me.

Looks like I have to send my car to a shop, I broke a bolt off in my oil pump. I don't have the time to do the oil pump myself rignt now, I guess the shop gets some of my money now

What bolt did you break? Hopefully not the hydraulic tensioner one, that goes into the block not the oil pump. Good luck though.
