hoff Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Ooh, put the handbags away girls........ Thanks Rob. I've got sorted with a new one from Toyota. My car has now done 84K miles and it looks as if the belt has never been changed. The have struggled to get to pulley off and have used heat and a rubber mallet. It is debatable as to whether they have buggered it or not but I can't really argue with them as they have done me a few favours of late. Seeing that this is a 12 year old pulley then I am not really that upset about shelling out the £200 for a new part. The new pulley will be collected in the morning, all being well....... I did have a chance to get a free one off Hoff but it wasn't worth the risk with a 1300 mile round trip coming up....... Oh and I got 15% off the price of the pulley from HW Moon Toyota in Wigan....... The irony is that the belt is in amazing condition....... See above, but thanks for the advice matey boy!! H. Defiantely done the right thing mate with your trip coming up:) I hope it all goes well and if you need anything else from an NA engine give me a shout;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 I was a little worried if they generally get damaged on removalThey don't usually. Only if they're taken off incorrectly . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Taken off with a properly made puller they should suffer zero shock, stress, temperature change or any other trauma, but I consider them a consumable and if the budget allows should be changed when a cam belt needs doing.

In which case then I think I've done well to get this far. There is no evidence in the receipts or under the bonnet to suggest that the belt has ever been replaced. It's only money...... H.

Either way, the pulley is now with the garage and it will be ready on monday. Gives me plenty of time to get the car ready for Le Mans....... H.
