chirp 2nd and rip a skid!! CLASSIC.

lock the car up in gear on brakes to undo balancer bolt or put socket and bar on bolt and turn to start for a split second and let the engine crack the bolt loose. there are 2 threads in balancer. put 2 bolts through and tighten to get balancer off. i havent taken my cas bracket off when changing belt. cas sensor has a locator on inside of shaft that you need to line up when re-fitting. adjust timing
