[V8] Audi tool 2084

[diemarthadie at aol.com]

 Did this recently with my Miata timing belt change.  It's scary, but easy.  It worked instantly.

Be sure you have something protecting the car in case you chicken out and let go of the pipe!

Use the torque of your starter motor. A socket/ratchet & long pipe extension

works well when you briefly activate the starter. The V8 is 28mm, not sure

what the 4k is. I normally rest the pipe on one of the frame arms or ground.

Sounds scary, is scary, but works every time you don't have a tool or

impact.



It is important to note the timing belt should be intact or briefly

reinstalled if you try this procedure.

I hate to do this here, but I'm getting desperate. The last thing I need to

do on my '84 4kq before I can put it all together is the timing belt.

Unfortunately the only way to get the crank bolt off is by holding the crank

still with special tool 2084. I've only found a couple places selling one

though, and they want around $100 for it.  The Audifans website used to have

a write up on how to build a tool that will work, but not only is that part

of the site down right now, it also didn't show the tool in action, so I was

never clear on how to use it.



Anyway, would anyone on the list happen to have an Audi 2084 tool they'd be

willing to loan me?



Thanks,



Seamus
