The dreaded crank pulley! I have been there and its not fun. We should really try and build of a stock pile of these but they are so difficult to get off

Nice to hear from you fweaky!
Though the circumstances could obviously be better

Are H22 crank pulleys the same as H23?

Post by **indigolemon** » Tue Mar 10, 2015 4:56 pm

The H23 one will fit, I swapped it over when I did the engine swap - but I did it as the width of belt was different for alt/air con. We might need to confirm what belt is currently fitted?

Aaarghhh hang on...

Didn't @gayno say something about the pulleys on fweaky's lude being an 'odd' size?

Don't even get me started!!

I can't speak for the crank pulley, but the aircon pulley is most definitely bigger, meaning we needed a longer belt. It was so long ago now though, that I can't remember what size belt it was.

Hahah yeh it has been soooo long ! I think I still have the packaging for the belt we used Adam ill have a look ...............................

power steering one was 4pk1020
and I think the one we used from the alternator was 5pk948 ( but im sure we cut off a ridge or something as its a bit weird that ones a 4 rige and ones a 5 ridge ? )

It has been so long since I played with my car as i had it on my dads drive for over a year and a half whilst I went travelling lol !

Am I gonna have to drop the engine or is it possible to access it through the front wheel arch ? Will I need a locking tool to lock the crank shaft ?

You can do it all in place, but yes, you'll need the locking tool.
