Camshaft sprocket
Posted: Tue Jul 08, 2008 6:33 pm
Hi all....
Just doing a head gasket on my old 1.05 '93 polo and having real trouble removing the camshaft sprocket... Made myself a pulley holding tool, just as haynes mentions but the thing won't budge....!!
Is the bolt a right hand thread, ie. turn anti-clockwise to loosen? don't wanna be shearing the fecker off!!!!
Also, is it easier to leave the carb on adn remove it with the head, haynes states to remove before but it looks easier to leave alone?
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Cheers
