trouble doing crankseal on 2lte

[mayhem1982]

i have got timing belt etc off but cant quite figure how to get the gear off to get at the seal.
do i have to remove the keway to pull it off? if so what is the easiest way to do this?

Here is an exploded view...

Will throw up the manual pages soon... Looks like it just comes off with a gear puller, probably a taper...So will be tight to start with...

Here is a link to a 2l - 2lT manual which is hosted by a forum member wjw...

I think the TE is just the electronic pump version of the 2lT.
I am a 1KZT-E man...so not fully upto speed on the little brother engine...

I did have a link to the 2lTE manual but the site is no longer hosting it..

so i take it if it wont to 2 revolutions by hand that i dont have the tdc marks lined up properly?

That sound scary.... like if its miss aligned the valves could be hitting the top of the pistons...
Don't force it ...Back track and start again aligning everything...

yeah thats what i thought, i put my own marks on and used them. maybe i will start again and use the factory ones.
also could it be that i still have the glow plugs in?

I can still turn the 1kzte over by hand...It has compression but slowly bleeds off past the rings...
The timing should have three ref marks... One for Cam, one for crank and one for Injector pump....
Once all aligned there should be a specific number of cam belt teeth between two of the points before the tensioner is applied. Or something like that....
Did you down load that manual???

[mayhem1982]

yeah i did thanks.
this is why i usually pay a mechanic for anything to do with a timing belt l
