[Supras] Timing belt replacement

[Hacker J]

I think he means the drive gear for the oil pump.  You need some way to keep it from moving when you undo the bolt. I took an aluminum bar and put to long bolts through it so that they engage the gear spokes.  That keeps the gear from rotating, and then a wrench removes the bolt.  

Removing the crank pulley is more challenging. That bolt is tight. I needed a 4 foot gas pipe extension on a breaker bar, but I'm a weakling. You also need some way to keep the crank from rotating.  5th gear works well if it's a manual.

removing the oil pan to get to the oil pump while the engine is in the car 
is a PITA. if yer refering to the oil cam bearing, then not really if I 
remember correctly. Eitherway, full directions are in the TSRM to do the 
work.
