will i need any special tools??

 

I'm in the middle of changing my belt. No special tools so far . All metric 10,12,14,17,19mm will get you. You may have FUN getting the bolt out of the crankshaft. SOAK in PB Blaster!!! I wound up taking a piece of alum I had and drilling holes to line up w/ bolts in harmonic dampener and blocking against the frame, to stop crank from turning. Breaker bar and 2' cheater pipe FINALLY worked. Next test is getting cam pulleys off!!Good luck!!

 

you need new crank bolts, or at the very least some lock tight on it. I believe it calls for 220 ft lbs for that bolt.

 

you will need to fab up a tool to hold the crank and if u have access to a 1/2'' impact gun a good one it should break it loose

 

Thanks for the information i will need all i can get lol
