Hi
I will be attempting this over the weekend, I've never done one before, this will probably be the most serious mechanical work I've ever done on a car but I'm skint, I follow instructions well, so I'm hoping it's worth the risk.
I have various resources that I'm using to create a replacement procedure from and I will more than likely be asking lots of questions on this thread but I'll start with this one:
Around 50-60% of the instructions I have DO NOT mention the use of a flywheel locking tool like so:

but they all pin the flywheel by the starter with an 8mm bolt/pin. The official flywheel locking tool seems to be mentioned whenever the crankshaft pulley bolt is tightened/slackened.
I find it curious that the flywheel needs to be locked in place with a flywheel locking tool AND pinned near the starter. Can anyone shed some light on this please?
I've just thought of a second question, there's mentioning of a locking pin for the woodruff key on the crankshaft pinion. Why is it necessary? I have the DW10TD engine. EDIT, I think I know why now as the sprocket has a bit of wiggle room on the shaft you have to insert a bit of 2mm dia rod on the left side of the key to ensure the sprocket is rotated anti-clockwise as far as it can go on the key whilst the belt is being refitted. Would still like this confirmed though.
Thanks for any help.
