Pulley Locking Tool - What Goes Where?
- Thread starter Faxo

It replaces the cog on the tool because of the tool sticking out further because of the dephaser. It's just longer.

Ah! Always though the tool came setup for others and you had to change it for the sports. Fair enough.
Make sure you don't get the crank locking tool in the wrong place on the crankshaft and search for advice on equalising the belts tension and setting the tensioner. You really shouldn't attempt this if your not experienced with interference pulleys and have done plenty of research on the niggles of doing this on an F4R.
Saying that if you end up with a settled belt, the tensioner is set right and the tools fit back in then the jobs a good 'un.

Other way round, it comes for non dephaser models and you change it to a dephaser model with MOT1509-01

Have some faith guys - im a tech for Audi and deal with floating pulleys all the time on the TFSi engines, plus this is the 2nd F4R belt ive done, the first I didnt use this tool but thought id give it a whirl this time
Dan@SJM does it replace the top or bottom gear on the tool?
Exactly, whenever it comes to someone changing their own belts the assumption is they have no idea whereas the opposite is usually true. I have seen more horror stories from dealers changing the belts opposed to DIY.

Just checking! You wouldn't be the first experienced mechanic to muck it up 
A lot of the crank location issues are due to someone previously mucking it up.
In short the pulley tool is a multi engine tool.

Cool, thanks for clarifying, I obviously swapped mine over before I first used it and have never needed to swap it back as I only do renaultsports so mine is other way around, lol.

She's running, all correctly timed, rotated backwards before torquing then turned over and the tools slotted in beautifully
Built it back up, took her for a run and that 5k kick is one of the most pronounced ive felt in my 4 previous 172s!
Start to finish 3hrs, although I have no A/C or acoustic pipe work
The pulley tool is a godsend, had much more faith nothing would moe whist torquing the pulleys up

Good stuff 
I use the flywheel mark to get the crank pin location. Get it where I think it is roughly using the cams and then find the mark on the flywheel, line it up with the bell housing mark before slipping in the locking pin.
Faxo I was looking forward to doing the belt & dephaser on that car due to the cup aux setup.

Nicely done! Engine noise is pretty good on these which is why the kwik fit special exhaust on mine will only be changed when it dies. No chance of failing a noise test is a bonus.
