Ian Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Decent socket set & a breaker bar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zugara Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 I have done this on another car, I put the car in gear, handbrake on and give the spanner/socket a good smack with a copper hammer. Did the trick on my supra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BulletMagnet Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Can't you adjust the belt tensioner? Failing that, double check you got the right pulley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quick wheels Posted September 2, 2010 Author Share Posted September 2, 2010 Not too long from start to inish i would say max 1.5-2 hours, if all goes smooth 45 min with the right tools ie electric drivers etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
