I'm replacing the timing belt but the camshaft pulley is getting extremely hard to turn and starting to strip out.
Is there anything I can use to get it to turn easier?

Good afternoon,

What are you using to turn the cam?

I attached a picture of the tool need to turn the cam.

A. Using SST, loosen the pulley bolt.
SST 09249-63010, 09960-10010 (09962-01000, 09963-01000)

You could also use a 17mm 5 point socket and 3/8 long handle ratchet to turn the cam.
