Heater hose replacement
#21
My 2 shops did hundreds of timing belts, (on those 4,5,6 cylinder engines) and maybe a hundred valve/cylinder head jobs, and many many leaking VVT/front seals - we never used a crank holding tool. I don't own one. We did always use (when needed) the cam cover installation tools - the ones that screw into the spark plug holes and push the cover down evenly, and the cam alignment tool.

Cams
first off thank you for your help buddy. Also I want to correct myself. Not taking the timing belt off. Just the pulley to see behind it and line the marks up. I got the nut off yesterday before having to get some sleep before my night shift. Today I got a pulley puller set but didn't have time to get to wrenching in it. My understanding of the tool pic you sent was if you have the sprocket off the cam shaft. Am I wrong with this. My problem is the cams right now when put in place off 2 lobes on each shaft hitting the valve followers and not allowing it to sit down all the way. So I'm concerned about trying to pull the cam cover down on them like that. Once I have my marks on the crank lined up is this tool what I need to do that or is that for the cam sprockets? Thank you again for your help.

They seem to weld themselves in place. I got one of mine free but broke the other. I agree with you about the need for simplicity. Although in this case it seems the function is mainly to ease the connection during assembly.
The only saving grace is that the cost of 2 new hoses is not terribly expensive. The bonus is you can then see exactly how the fitting works.
