Hey guys, it's that time for me (actually, I am on barrowed time by 10K miles YIKES). Does anyone have a time belt replacement pin set for the let and right cam and the fly wheel? These are parts VM.1052, VM.1053, and VM.1083 from Miller Speciality (and that's without a pin wrech or a wrench to break the cam timing pulley bolts loose). Looks like I also need a "pin wrench" in order to properly tension the idler pulley(s)??? Never had to do that on a domestic/gasser. Thanks, Marc |

BTW, which GDE tune do you have and would you recommend it? Good value? |

I have a ECO tune. I was just looking to delete the EGR and improve MPG and power slightly. I dont beleve in pushing diesel engines. So i did not add any higher tunes. |

My mechanic used the correct size rubber tubing with a drill bit inside for the correct size to make his own pins. Just an idea.. |

You can order a Sealey kit which has all 3 pins and your wrench for under $100 shipped. The VM.1085 is another monster altogether. |

GDE Rents the Timing Tools, I don't believe they include the Pin Wrench though. You can also rent the tools from me, Check my signature, it will be a few weeks before they are back though. |

The pin wrench is something of a pain to use. I'd suggest you take a look at the GDE timing belt replacement instructions for how to substitute 2 crossed allen wrenchs of the appropriate size. Looks like that might be easier to use. |

PM sent. I may have a wrench pin for the tensioner pulley if it is the same as the one used on the TDI. I will have to find it, as I haven't used it in years. I work in Louisville, and live like 3 miles to downtown Louisville. I would love to help with the job. |

I used a universal dohc lock tool from napa ($40) and you can grab the idler pulley with a pair of channel locks just fine to adjust it. |
