Im guessing you cant get the new belt on without removing the pulley, clan- where does the locking tool fit to? and do you need to replace the nut plus the four bolts? do you think this tool would be ok for re-tightening it? I think on the S40 it was a lower torque of 180nM and it didnt have any trouble getting the nut off, would have been impossible using regular 1/2" hand tools. The impact wrench spec seems to be 350nM max. |
The belt on the petrol which is the same engine down below is able to flex around the pulley but the Diesel uses a wider belt which is very difficult to wangle out , i would like to see the person on here doing this, who said it could be done after 10 years of doing these myself !
The locking tool is part no 9995433 it costs about £25 from a dealer and is held to the pulley by those 4 bolts it lodges on the subframe to lock the pulley .
Yes volvo say you must change the nut ,and the 4 locking bolts are stretch bolts so must be used only once and angle torqued . This is very important on a diesel which has big stresses in the pulley area when idling .
300 nm is your full body weight and more on a medium 2ft long torque wrench .
