here's the deal my mate wants me to change his timing belt but how can i tell if it has a one piece crankshaft hub or two piece i don't want to deal with trying to get that nut off a two piece as i know it is torqued to 302lbs.
is there any way to tell with out taking it apart.

The fan belt pulley is held on with 6 bolts and is seperable from the cam belt pulley.

No need to undo the mega tight nose bolt :)

i think that there are two type though. the one piece hub that does not need to be removed and the two piece that does so the lower cover can come off or have i just been miss informed :? .
