I did think of using bolts or allen keys. As long as they are tough and fit i cant see why they wont work. Does anyone no what repositioning the flange means? |
The "flange" is the crank pulley. You should only have to move that if the pulley doesn't line up with the pin/locking tool and the cams are locked in place too. I didn't have to touch mine ... it was fine.

Just used an allen key to hold it then tweaked the locking nut. Once it didn't move I could then tighten it properly.
With the engine out it should be a piece of cake ... and you will have less cuts than me probably!!
