The weather is finally warming up so I plan to do my timing belt real soon. I have a question the Bentley manual a special lock carrier tool no. 3369. From the pictures in the book it looks like it is just a longer bolt allowing the carrier to slide out? Has anyone used an equivalent tool like a longer bolt if so does anyone remember the thread size. Thanks very much.

 

Thanks I found this pdf that shows how to make the tool. Pretty easy.
