Crankshaft Pulley removal on an auto?

Rick-sta · 16th July 2016, 22:10

May be a silly question, the crank pulley on my dad's 75 auto has failed. When we replaced it on my manual ZT we just jammed the flywheel to stop the pulley from turning when trying to undo the bolt, what's the best way of doing this on an auto?

Cheers

With the proper tool like you should have done first time round...

There's two holes in the gearbox casing, one for manual cars the other is for autos. You place the locking pin into the respective hole to lock up the engine.

I had mine off in the V6 auto recently when doing the timing belts.

Air impact gun, much easier than locking stuff up 😎
