Re: Help!!! Removing pulleys.
well i just looked on mine. you cant fit a socket in there but you can get a 14mm wrench in there but you wont be able to torque it down and im not even sure if you can slip the timing belt out between the pulley and the tensioner pulley. id find a way to get those bolts off

Re: Help!!! Removing pulleys.
ive never tried it, hmmm im pretty sure you do because the tensioner and idler pulleys bolt through the water pump and that pulley is pretty wide. take off the timing belt covers and look. it might be really tight but u might be able to squirm around it. ill check real quick and see

Re: Vaccum leak or what, Help an Mxer out,
