How to for 2.8 v6 cambelt change??
Hi guys,
I keen to try and do this myself, competent DIYer but i’ve never done a cambelt. I’ve tried searching on here but a ‘How to’ wasn’t forthcoming. Does anyone have one, or has done it and can give me advice and pointers.. TIA |

Isn't a particularly difficult job, but there are a couple of tools for locking the camshafts and crankshafts, and possibly a puller required for loosening the cam sprockets John |

Folks, is it easier with the bumper off this job? I’ve got the time, so if it is easier, then i’ll take it off.

Got all the tools Guy. If you only need the crank locking pin send me your details and I will get it to you. I would not bother taking bumper off as the radiator is in the way and you can’t see the 6mm Allen Key head pulley bolts without moving radiator. |
