Removing cam pulleys

[bertieg]

How would I go about removing camshaft pulleys, with no cambelt fitted and no pulley locking tools? Any secret methods? The engine is on a stand, so access is good. Buzz gun wouldn't have them off, probably due to a weak compressor

My 1/2 snap on battery gun always gets them undone mate without fail. Other than that you need to lock the pulleys with the correct tool and attack them with a knuckle bar.

I doubt it'll do it with no belt fitted.

What sort of torque are they twisted up to ?

 

[Dan@SJM]

125nm for the inlet and 30nm+86degrees for the exhaust.

I did mines with all the MOT tools, but after some surfing I found these, and they should work pretty well... worth to try, should be almost free to build http://imgur.com/a/unKew#0

Don't you have an old belt you can wrap around them some how?

This is what I done.

Careful you don't turn the cams, if you've locked the crank at TDC you're very likely to bend valves undoing the pulleys.
