photos from this morning - whole job took about an hour including removing the
exhaust! I think, the pulley nut being off twice in the last 10yrs was a help though.
Sadly the exhaust heat shield I bought new last year fell to pieces as soon as the
retaining bolts were taken out, so I'm gonna have to find a new one of those, and
one that is made a bit better.
#2292 over the steps, which make an excellent service area
Heat shield that broke when the bolts were taken out
our quarry is now in sight!
cue 35mm socket, large persuading device and determined bloke
Engine secured, socket applied, and 10 seconds later.....
One bent pulley!
Hopefully we'll catch up with RichH over the weekend, so that he can get the
offending article off to the engineering place to have a new one made - who knows,
we could have the car back together again within a couple of weeks, then, oh joy,
the MOT.... lol
