crazyxa Member 84 Member For: 17y 1m 7d Posted 01/10/15 11:30 AM Share Posted 01/10/15 11:30 AM (edited) What is the best way to loosen and tighten the crank pulley bolt on a ZF equipped auto FG?Is it like the BTR auto where you remove the transmission bell housing inspection plate or is there a port to lock the drive plate / flywheel with a large flat head?Then breaker bar and some shoulder. Same to tighten also? Edited 01/10/15 11:31 AM by crazyxa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long would it take to change?All depends on how long it takes you to remove the crank bolt and pulley. With the right tools probably 2hrs max. Someone who does them all the time even less. Note I am assumeIng the timing cover does not need to be removed to remove the front crank seal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
