Crd timing belt change
 

Hi peeps, how hard is it to change the timing belt on a '09 CRD. Are there any special tools required? Its due to be changed so just weighing up whether to do it with my mate who is a mechanic or get it done from someone who knows how to do it. Don't mind getting my hands duuurty though...:):):)

Thanks Joe.

There's a few YouTube videos online, but it's not a small job because apparently you have to take the radiator out, which requires grille & front bumper (bullbar, light bar, winch, spotties) to come off.

Due to my health issues I intend to get all that off, down to the radiator, then drive it down to the local 4wd mechanic to do the Timing Belt & Tensioner, then get it back and put all the acc back on. Should save me a heap of $$$ not paying the mechanics to to that.

Thanks Wiz, nice KK, any photos of the rear bar?

I'll see what I can do. I'm away from home for two weeks doing Cadet training & the rules are no photography on Defence bases.
