Hi, we need to lock the crankshaft to enable us to remove the pulley, to get the timing cover off. To then have access to the water pump. What is the best way to do this? Is it necessary to remove the timing belts? Do we need to do that, then re-adjust the timing when it comes to putting it all back together again? Thanks very much.

Impact tools is used for the removal of the crank shaft pulley bolt
