I have a 2001 MGF Steptronic, I'm currently doing a cambelt change I'm struggling to find the correct tool, to lock the auto gearbox flywheel.
There's no way to lock the engine using the brakes etc, as with a manual gearbox and so to remove the crank end pulley bolt, I need a flywheel locking tool.
Question is, will a normal locking tool as here, OEM 15G 1571, fit the flywheel on a 2001 Steptronic?
I've discovered that the starting motor for a Steptronic has 11 teeth, but the manual starting motor has 12 teeth, so I'm now doubting the flywheels are the same,unless I'm wrong?
It's an expensive item to purchase, so I need to get the correct tool. Any advice appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
