Title: Is this cam locking tool ok {NYLON}
Post by: willyboy on 04 October 2008, 13:56:33

Just noticed these on ebay  .Will this Nylon locking tool be ok to use for changing cam belt on my 2.0 litre CD 16v  as its cheap enough...obviously not as good a the alloy ones but wont get used much (hopefully)

Also just been watching 4 pot DVD he does'nt use a flywheel locking tool , so I guess its ok not to so long as you dont turn it at all,  me still learning  :-[but looks simple enough... :y

Flywheel or crank locking tool is neither available nor required for the 2.0.

Aligning the timing marks by eye is enough :y
