Hi All,
I've got a '94 Ibiza 1.4. (ABD engine)
I'm in the (slow) process of replacing the timing belt and water pump and I've got to the point where I need to get the auxiliary belt pulley off the end of the crankshaft, but I'm having a bit of trouble. After figuring out that the crankshaft turns clockwise (looking from the timing belt end towards the transmission end), I figured that it would make sense to have a left hand thread on the bolt, but I've had no success in budging it. Is this bolt left handed or right handed?
Also, It seems to be a 12 sided bolt that holds the pulley onto the crankshaft. Not having come across one of these before, does that sound like the right thing to be undoing? My workshop manual just says "remove the crankshaft pulley".
Any advice would be much appreciated.
cheers,
Wiley
