I know this has probably been covered a few times and i have tried a search but cant find a clear picture, i'm currently just tackling my timing belt now according to the FAQ there is an 8mm hole to pass a pin through the bellhousing casing and flywheel to lock up the flywheel in order that the Crank pulley bolt be undone, i cant find this hole so to speak lol can any one post a pic showing me where abouts it is?Unsure

FAQ is WRONGGGGGG

The 8mm hole to the flywheel is only used on the XUD engine.

Are you sure about that?
Both of my gti6 blocks have the hole and the notch out of the rear of the flywheel.

yep, the XUD and XU block is the same casting, so yes the hole will be there but its not to be used for this purpose.

even on the XUD you should not use it as a means to lock the crank, only to time it up.

dunno about the 6, on my xu7 I put 5th gear and ask someone to step on the brake pedal to prevent the crank pulley from turning. I got it from the haynes manual.

i recently got an engine in which the bottom end had let go, following the instructions in the haynes manual i thought how am i supposed to do that when there isn't even a gearbox attached, never mind any brakes? LOL so i shoved a claw hammer through the hole in the side of the block, that stopped the crank from rotating Laugh my ass off

Use an air-gun on the crank pulley bolt, you won't need to lock off the engine to remove the bolt then. You will though when you want to torque it back up, Draper do a flywheel locking tool, it has teeth that engage with the ring gear (there is a gap in the casting at the front of the gearbox where you can gain access to the ring gear) the tool has a slotted hole that you use one of the gearbox flange bolts to hold it with. There is a picture of me using it in my project thread.

its identical to the lazer tool Jim linked to above BTW Smile

not sure if you could use that on an engine without removing the starter motor, can't remember if there's any access available at the back of the block.

There is'nt, but there is a handy hole that you can poke a deep socket through and go into the holes in the Rich W lightened flywheel I have, not sure what there is to lock into on a standard cast flywheel though Unsure

I just changed my crank pulley for a lightweight one. I tried putting it in gear, and standing on the brakes, but it felt well spongey when trying to undo it.

I ended up using a mini pribar through the little viewing hole on the gearbox casing. Worked a treat.

I just made sure I rested it against the teeth that the starter uses.

in gear with foot on brake wont work, you will just be winding up the springs in the clutch and moving engine on its mounts. the torque will be wrong doing it this way. Have a mate lock flywheel through bellhousing, or if you have a trusted air gun just run it up tight with that
