If I continue with one (or both) of my FSi's, I'm going to have to do at least one timing belt.
I guess I can turn up the upper locking pins (or use drills)?, I 'think' the crank is simply a visual check across the marks (?).
Has anyone done the job without the crank holding tool, or made one up? To say these two cars are on a knife-edge wouldn't be an exaggeration so I'm not keen to rush out and buy the tool. I do, however, have access to a monster 3/4in drive impact gun which might deal with the 'undo' phase of the operation. I'm aware the bolt is a one-use chap.
I suppose there's no way of doing it without taking the crank pulley off?
Just out of interest, I've asked Euro's for another pair of rear bump stops and no: no group stock at all due to CV-19. They are having all sorts of issues: would you beleive including no Fiesta front brake pads for some models. Yikes! I guess all of those supply issues that haven't really concerned a shut-down world are coming home to roost during this half-way period.
