- Sat Apr 11, 2009 12:57 am #109791 well its pretty simple i think the hardest part of the whole thing is getting that freaking crank pulley off but on most of the motors ive had to work with they've been sitting for awhile and in my climate that isnt to good....anyhow its a pretty simple diy thing you could do it depending of coarse on how long it takes you to get that pulley off about half an hour or so once you get the pulley off and im possibly exaggerateing the time a bit too since if its in your car it will be a tad harder to get to everything but you should be able to do it....and while your in there might as well change the timing belt since i mean its right there.....but yea its pretty simple and id rate it at a 2 out of 5 for someone who knows how to handle a wrench and can get that crank pulley out since like i said before i think that is the hardest thing to get off.....

Basically the same procedure on all D-series
Also on the crank pulley bolt I use a big breaker bar and give the engine a lite tap in the ignition so the motor turn just a little, it works every time. Just make sure you put 2x4 to hold the bar and avoid braking something.
Good luck!!
