Crankshaft locking tool to borrow?

[Pabloalfa76]

Hi everyone,
I am going to do my cambelt in the next couple of weeks.
Can anyone lend me a crankshaft locking tool for a day or two?
I am in Forest Row, East Sussex and have a 2002 V70 D5.
Thanks, Paul.

Hi mate you won't need a tool to lock the crank up it is a very simple belt to do just set the marks up and if your unsure make your own Marks and as long as they line up you will be fine also it might be slightly more expensive but buy the Volvo timing belt kit it comes with a new tensioner and roller witch on that engine is a must fit?! Seen plenty of tensioner failures not worth saving on trust me!

I think he means the 999 5433 tool for holding the pulley whilst you undo and do up the 300 nm nut ...

Thanks for those who replied,
Yes its the pulley locking tool I was looking for.
Regards Paul.

Thassos, I will be in touch if I buy the tool, you are welcome to use it.

Maybe bit of topic but I got hold of Cordless Impact wrench which will remove the nut with out any aditional tolls, also comes handy in lot of another application, you can get a electric corded one with 450nm for about £65

Have you got a link for the one you bought please and what are your thoughts about build quality, how it performs and value for money?

Thanks, Mick

This may sound stupid but I also need to remove the crankshaft pulley to change my V70's timing belt and I was weighing whether or not to buy the counterhold tool #999 5433 and I saw your comment:

What I don't understand is Won't the impact wrench just make the pulley spin? I thought the point was that it needed to be secured by the counterhold tool (or some other method) while you take the bolt off otherwise it will just turn with the wrench.

thanks, Don
