Cam belt replacement schely 64300 tool

[pup1945]

Hi

I recently purchased a 2003 sc430 and my mechanic said it needs a replacement cambelt and water pump. it has done 74,000.

He is happy to do it as long as I find a tool to loosen the crank shaft bolt. Hence my search for the above. As it is only needed once it seems excesive to pay £70 from the USA.

Any helpful suggestions, he has already ruled out not using the right tool. To buy or borrow please

I would recommend using genuine Lexus parts for this job. Apologies if this sounds a bit harsh and not very helpful but if he needs your help, perhaps it's time to consider another mechanic. I use a local South Coast Sussex expert but I believe Lexus do fixed priced cambelt services. It may be worth investigating.
