yet another timing belt question (and some ND show verbage)
Folks,
So let's say I don't have any Audi tools, and am ablt to get the pulley
bolt out to change the timing belt. How do I rotate the engine to TDC?
It seems the easiest way is with the bolt itself, but once it's loose,
then what? Of course I can't spin the engine clockwise 359 degrees just
because it's 1 degree past TDC, if the belt is off.
Is the engine easy enough to turn to use my bare hands on the pulley?
Just wondering. I don't think I'm gonna use ANY factory tools to do the
work. I'm now leaning more towards the "other" methods, or a factory
tool "substitute" of some sort.

(if you don't know what I'm talking about, I'm gonna (someday soon)
replace my timing belt/lifters/water pump/cam on my '86 Coupe GT)
p.s. Had a time at the ND show. Met a few listers. Got a little
sunburn. Haven't done that in years. I was wondering why I saw some
people puttin' Bullfrog on their faces and skin 'n stuff. Duane Hale's
turbo 4k got 1st place in the Audi/Fox(?!) category. Beat out a white
ur-q with one flat and one sloped twin bulb eurolite. I wonder if
there's someone out there with the other one of each! :-) He also got
people's choice. It's nice. I'll put up some pictures soon (on a web
page, of course)
