If you have a set of small, 90 degree snap-ring pliers, that will work in a pinch.
Did you use the parts you bought from www.injection-pump.com? Please reply with a list of the parts you installed that you purchased from that company. Please don't blow this off as it's important. If you installed those parts your engine is on borrowed time from the moment you first start it.Okay so I followed the myturbodiesel.com instructions for removing the timing belt, and then took the injection pump out, followed the diesel-forumas.lt guide to the tee and got it all back together. i assembled it and wiped all the parts down in fresh diesel as a lubricant during assembly. I got the pump back in, the key in place and then locked it into place with the injection pump lock tool. I got the new timing belt on and made sure the crankshaft was aligned where the flywheel is location, made sure the camshaft was locked also and put the belt on. I didnt get a tensioner tool from metalnerd...so I'm trying to find someone local who has one I can borrow.
Once I get the tensioner tight I think its a matter of simple assembly. The diesel-forumas.lt guide was excellent and should be a sticky or something!
Anyone in the delaware tristate area? I'd be willing to drive half hour to an hour to borrow the tensioner tool...
Thanks for your help everybody! cant wait to have my jetta back on the road!
Particularly if you're using anything from Prothe in the timing belt path: timing belt itself, rollers, tensioner...If you installed those parts your engine is on borrowed time from the moment you first start it.
This is what the OP said he bought: "I picked out a seal kit with triangle bolt for 23$ a timing belt kit with locking tools for 75$ and a replacement belt tensioner because its been squeaking for 34$. Total comes to $141 with shipping."Yeah, that's Prothe but if he just bought the sockets to pull triangular bolts, he'll be fine. I know people who've used his seal kits and pump bushings with no issues.
I've been itching to buy one of his AAZ camplates for my old IDI, but have been leery.

Good decision.I did not order anything from there. I ordered everything that was listed on the myturbodiesel listings and I don't think he likes this guy either. I spent nearly 600$ in parts, so I think all is well.
Whoa, that's expensive! I've had my Schley for close to 20 years, but it still sounds high.Where are you located todd? I am in wilmington delaware, 19810. I may cancel if you are close enough. i spent 40$ on the tool and 30$ for shipping...
Follow the timing belt replacement procedure on MyTurboDiesel.com and you'll be all set.Wait am I supposed to put the belt in its tension position before I put the belt on?
Agreed!push the IP as much towards the engine as possible (counter-clockwise) which will give you the most advance and best chance for it to start.
