Ok, so I'm attempting to put in my new cam as well as change the timing belt. All has gone well up until now, when I find it is impossible to undo either the crankshaft pulley bolt or the camshaft pulley bold. As for the crank, i put it in 4th gear (M46 tranny), had my friend hold the brakes, and it still moved the car without any indication of ever wanting to loosen. As for the cam pulley bolt, I broke a strap wrench on it already, and then I held onto the cam with vise grips, but still the cam would turn in the vise grips(even after I closed the vise grips with another wrench for ultra tight-ness). Anyone have any tricks or tips? I'm really frustrated at the moment, as I need to get this done in the next day or two, and I can't get past this dumb step. Thanks in advance for any advice!
