sgtschultz Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 2000 Subaru Outback, 2.5L wagon. Time to change the timing belt, water pump, etc. Is anyone willing to let me borrow their cam holding tools? Thank You, Nathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 they are actually really easy to do without any special holding tools. i'd read through some threads here and go to it. i've never used a tool to do it, it's really easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89Ru Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 If you are talking about locking the cam to remove the bolt so you can get the cam off (presumably to replace a seal) then use a chain vise grip over old belt to protect cam teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bratman2 Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 I used a couple of clothes pins on the cam pulleys to keep the belt from slipping while installing. Helps alot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerFahrer Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Or just loosen the bolts before you take the old timing belt off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
