Cambelt tools anyone?

[cg172]

Has anybody bought the reanault cambelt tools for locking the cams in place during the belt change? I think it's a kit of four parts if Autodata is correct. I want to borrow (possibly rent?) a set off someone if possible so that the (very trusted) mechanic at my local garage does the job properly.

I'm in the North East, but would happily pay postage / travel a bit to pick some up.

I know it's a long shot like, but just want things done to a decent standard for my pride and joy...

Possibly mate, what tools do you need exactly?

There is a cam locking tool that fits n the back of the head, a crank locking pin and a cam pulley holding tool (not many people have or use this but its the ONLY way to get it spot on)

They are with someone else atm, should have back soon

 

[cg172]

Erm, all of 'em I think?! I guess you're more of an expert than me if you have them... I need to replace both the cambelt and the aux belt fairly soon. I'm on 63k at the mo, and I have no evidence that the aux belt has ever been done (eeek!). I think it takes all of the tools to do a proper job?
Correct?

 

[Jay Payne]

Correct, no special tools needed for the aux belt, just the cambelt locking stuff

How would you feel about sending them up to the north east for a bit when you get them back? Could we come to some sort of mutually agreeable, erm... agreement? PM if you prefer.
