Not seized, just tight.

My dad had it off last month to replace the front main, missed the oil pump seal was leaking also.

He did it back to spec, almost 420Nm, no Loctite. That's over 300 ft lbs, my basic torque wrench only goes to 150.

It's just a tight bolt as it holds the oil pump and ps pump on the crank. No keyways for those.

Service manual has a special tool set for this job, with a pulley holder that has a handle well over 1m long and requires 3/4" breaker for the bolt itself.

Tight!

I do have a couple little disposable butane bottles in the shed, the ones you swap the head piece from one to the next. Left over from removing subframe bushes lol

Will need to remove clutch fan either way, which is also a shit free spinning pulley.

That's a job for the new year as I'm off to QLD this Friday.

lol, I'll give it a shot.

Next post

"So guys, I'm posting from the hospital, things didn't quite go to plan. The bolt is still there, which is more than I can say for half the bones in my hand"

I'll just get a bigger bar, it'll be right. 

 

 

At the risk of actually helping one of these looks pretty handy. I haven’t had to use one because I am strong and can do it with my fingers.

You know what? I was wrong. 

You guys are incredibly helpful lol 

No progress on Silvia either, new house and changes at work eating up/costing me money. Need to put a stack away to ship the gear off so I at least have a long block built. 

I was having yet another flip flop moment with it all the other day, do I just sell all that SR gear, refresh the CA, cams turbo (the shit i sold....) and just keep driving it? But I'll just continue with the SR swap, knowing it will take a while to get it all done but that it should last a good while and have more than enough power for my abilities. 

Yes, I'm aware how painfully indecisive I can be, thanks lol Spare a thought for my missus. "Don't you dare sell all that stuff, just build the damn thing and drive it".

    • This is the clearest explanation out of those: Page 77: Turn the crankshaft clockwise two full rotations with the tensioner pulley installation bolt in a loose condition. Insert a wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole to fix the tensioner pulley in place, then tighten the installation bolts. Tightening torque: 43–58 N·m (4.4–5.9 kg·m). The timing belt tension should be at the correct tension. Basically you turn the engine with the tensioner bolt loose, then use the allen key to hold it while you torque it up. And yes after that a good guide is being able to twist it 90o in one of the long free lengths of the belt
    • good choice....I have a set of those and use them all the time including on this job. Plus, no-one wants a damaged nipple
    • Thanks all, went with nismo strengthened belt and all genuine nissan idler and tensioner Question on RB25DET Neo Timing Tensioner: I have a question about the RB25DET Neo timing tensioner. In one of the videos (minute 20 of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17y37BB9xnA and minute 27 of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pb99s2E9xUg), the process suggests tightening the tensioner pulley installation bolt to the specified torque initially, and then loosening it slightly to allow the spring to set the correct tension. Is this the correct approach? The R33 workshop manual on page 74 states: Loosen the tension pulley installation nuts. Insert the wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole and turn it clockwise to tighten the installation nut temporarily. The way this is written is confusing. Does this mean: Undo the nut, then reduce the tension by turning clockwise? Snug the nut so it stays in position without applying tension to the belt while removing the timing belt? The manual wording makes it sound like the nut will tighten automatically when you turn the tensioner clockwise , which is unclear to me.   Timing Belt Tension Adjustment Process: After loosening the tensioner nut, you turn the engine two full rotations by hand, which should set the correct tension. Once the tension is set, you tighten the bolt to 43 N·m (4.4 kg·m). Before tightening, you need to insert the Allen key into the hexagonal hole to hold the pulley in place while tightening the bolt. In one of the videos, it’s mentioned that you should twist the belt side to side, or turn it slightly to check if the tension is correct. The belt should turn halfway, indicating the right tension. However, I know that twisting or turning the belt is not a good idea. What are your thoughts on this? Finally, how can I ensure the belt isn’t overtightened? I’ve seen many cases where people have overtightened the timing belt.   Manual Excerpts: Page 74: Loosen the tension pulley installation nuts. Insert the wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole and turn it clockwise to tighten the installation nut temporarily. Remove the timing belt from each pulley. Page 77: Turn the crankshaft clockwise two full rotations with the tensioner pulley installation bolt in a loose condition. Insert a wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole to fix the tensioner pulley in place, then tighten the installation bolts. Tightening torque: 43–58 N·m (4.4–5.9 kg·m). The timing belt tension should be at the correct tension.
    • Takes a few minutes to malke one. Wood, or steel, or a wrap strap with some strategically placed solids to provide teh drive onto the ribs.
    • I would strongly suggest using the correct tool. They are not expensive and make the job much easier and don't damage the lock ring. Google "fuel tank lock ring removal tool" to see what I'm talking about.
