Hi all, while waiting for a reply from NOVA, I've continued stripping the engine. I've got it to the stage shown in the pics but I don't know the next stage to removing the crank and I'm hoping someone can help. I can't get the side plate to come off and don't know what to do next. There's also the two screws / studs shown in the pic that won't move and I'm reluctant to apply any more pressure. What are they for and do they need to come out? Any suggestions gratefully received. Thanks in advance and Happy Christmas to you all.   |

You need to get the pulley off and you'll need a puller for that - I think it's one with an M20x1 thread ... but check the thread diameter. With that side dismantled, the crankshaft should come out the other side. Turn it to BDC first so the con-rod can move into the transfer port.

Thanks for the fast reply. I was thinking about using a puller but the top of the pulley doesn't seem very strong and I didn't think there was room to fit the legs underneath. Is it a different type of puller to the standard two or three leg type?

Yes, it screws into the internal thread on the pulley - as you say, the sides of the pulley aren't strong enough for the leg type puller.

I’ve measured the thread at around 25mm. So I guess that means it’s M26, which is strange as whenever Peugeot is mentioned it says M20, as you suggested. M26 is available in 1 mm and 1.5 mm and double the price of M20  I think I need the 1 mm thread but it’s tricky to be certain. Attachments:

Quick update and another plea for advice please. I’m progressing with the reassembly and have hit a bit of a snag. I made a gasket and refitted the side plate. Then I found the crankshaft had tightened up and was difficult to turn over using the drive wheel. When the three nuts and two machine bolts are finger tight (or just over) everything is great but anything over that and it tightens up. Thinking my gasket may be too thin, I measured the original gasket bits at 0.3mm to 0.5mm. My gasket paper is 0.3mm. Could this be the issue? If it is, can I just double up the gasket paper or do I need to source thicker paper? Plus, any idea why the plate is secured with three studs and nuts plus two countersunk machine screws? Why not five studs and nuts? Attachments:
