Default Cossie Cambelt change - at long last *happy*

got the bastard tight pully bolt out - using an 12 quid impact gun - shifted it in 20 seconds

then took a further 2 mins to remove pully, which wasnt seized on

and then 5 mins to put new belt on and 30 mins to make sure it was timed up correctly

absolutely spot on - very chuffed with meself


but my impact gun broke then after need to take it back and swap it - but the best 12 quid i've spent is that
