Right so when the bolt is loosened the pulley is still quite tight then, but can be moved with some leverage ??? Or could it be moved by hand after loosening it with a hammer ???

No , when the bolt is loosened the pulley is still tight on the camshaft taper , you need to tap the pulley to release it before thinking of turning it a tiny amount . Once it "springs " off the taper it is very easy to turn .. hence don't loosen the big bolt too much then the pulley cant spring far and loose its original position .

Yep as I thought.

If i mark the pulley and belt on the first tooth at the top that has full contact with the sprocket, i can reset to a pretty closely where it was i hope. (ignore if you dont know what the heck i am on about here).

Just as long as the entire belt doesent jump off then im in **** i think.

EDIT: Stupid question but i guess after each adjustment i will need to fully torque the top bolt to 160nm before firing her up ??

In the picture did it always have the 'timing' and 'read live data' boxesall the time? just wondered as the one I have borrowed doesn't have these! Just wondered as I was told it was the full version but probable just the demo.

Also I would get the bolt good and tight before trying after your adjustment.

What a PITA it was too. Had to adjust top pulley about 3 or 4 times and just by stroke of luck got it here.

Thanks guys for all your help.

Also as a followup chaps...

When I undid the top pulley nut it was pretty easy to undo using a 2ft breaker bar.

I have torqued the bolt back up to 160nm as per specs.

It just doesent seem sufficient to hold that pulley in place there.

Have these been known to slip before ??

Is it reccomended to use thread-lock on the pulley bolt ????
