help - puller needed

hey guys

i have just had my head off my rb20det due to it leaking and had it machined etc and put new gaskets and things on.

but at the time of removing it the puller we had did not fit to take the bottom pulley off to see the timing marks. It kept hitting on the condensor. Therefore we zip tied the timing belt to the cam pulley so that it would stay in the same spot. not thinking at the time that when we get the head back that they would have moved the cams to tdc.

So now i cant line the cam gear up and the crank isnt on tdc.

So i need a puller of some sort to get the bottom pulleys off so i can see the timing marks. i have tried a screw driver on either side to try and work it loose with no luck.

If anyone has a puller i can borrow just to get the pulley off as i am on holidays and need my car back. Otherwise you can remove it for me if you are willing to come out here. All help appreciated or advice on doing this any other way or if i can do it without taking pulleys off.

Help me out please all and i wont forget it

i am on the northside of brisbane

thanx

Jason

The one I used when I changed my timing belt was about $20 from sprint auto, looks like a crows foot..

I used my Rattle gun and a extension to undo the puller though.

You also need two long 8mm high tensile bolts, and two BIG washers, with small holes in them for the 8mm bolts. These bolt the puller to the Harmonic balancer, and the rattle gun does up the pullers bolt that pushes into the crank shaft.

This is all well and good, but to do it, you need the radiator out, and the A/C condensor. Once they're out, 'tis a piece of cake :D

Might swell do the water pump, timing belt and thermostat whilst shes all apart, for piece of mind ;)

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
