So I've got a CAS and I'm going to get it in asap.
Wondering if I can do without the puller?
Also is there any adjustments that need to be done? Or doesn't it just unbolt, bolt in and it's done?
Thanks,
I did take the bolt off the balancer earlier and couldn't seem to shift it so figured the tool is a must?
Thanks guys

So I've done my CAS and this hasn't changed anything, the car is slowly getting all new parts haha.

I'm not sure if I should also do the IAC.
I can probably make do with the car as it is until the new car arrives in a few months.
The fuel usage tho is ridiculous.
Around 15-16lt per 100kms

Good morning all,
So it's been to my mates shop and he seems to think it's the fuel pump.
It wasn't going then he tapped the tank and it went again.
Wondering if this would also contribute to the high fuel usage.
Regards

I actually haven't mate, but I have pulled it out and it seems like it should be working. But I will grab on online see if it makes a difference

I've installed the new fuel pump, started her up and now it's idle is rough and sounds like its struggling bad. Went for a drive and it isn't picking up speed very well. I have no clue any help would be grateful.

So this morning I couldn't get it to start and I made us super late to work!
It came up with circuit low voltage again.
Seems the fuel pump has made it all worse.
I've made the decision to stop looking for the problem and ditch it, casing to many Hassle :(
Plus my new car arrives in 10 days finally!
Thanks heaps for all the help.
