Review on 🔧 Gates PowerGrip Premium TCKWP143 Timing Belt Component Kit with Water Pump by Alejandro Silem

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Save big money by buying and installing in store.

This kit contains all the replacement parts behind the timing belt cover. Installation can be completed in 2-3 hours. The only real delay in doing this job is removing the crankshaft pulley from the car. The method that worked for me, after using both an electric and pneumatic impact wrench, was to open the transmission/torque converter inspection cover and have someone else hold it. A wide screwdriver is resting on a nearby piece of metal (if you do it this way you'll see a metal clip, it looks like it was made for that). Then on the crankshaft pulley bolt I used a couple of extensions where the wrench cleared the wheel well and used a jack level brace to brake the bolt. Unfortunately after removing the old parts they turned out to be fairly new but I had no service records for the vehicle and this was due.
