Hi folks,
I would like to replace the transmission belt by myself. Do I really need a pneumatic gun? I already have a torque wrench. Is it feasible to screw off the main bolt by hand?
Thanks in advance

with a torque wrench you need a buzetti tool to hold the vario
with a pneumatic (air) gun you need nothing else |

I have a tutorial that lists the tools:
Belt Change pdf You can use an impact wrench to remove the driven pulley nut. But if you don't... You can use a 21 x 23mm Deep Offset Wrench: Craftsman 12 pt Deep Offset Which is only $20 You will still need a variator holding tool to remove and tighten the variator nut. |

Operative word on the wrench is "deep" offset. Standard ofset won't get it. I had to order one from Sears as not a normal stock item.
