Thread: homemade crank locking pin

Good that you've got the right tools on order.
I was in a hurry so I used the airline fitting trick and after not being able to drill the hole out I ground down the diameter of a pergola post bolt until it slid inside. No worries, its been back on the road almost a year now!

There is an excellent tutorial a fella did pulling the head off a Defender td5, it has excellent advice and pictures. I think its in the Good Oil section here.

Give it a go, slowly and carefully and you'll save thousands. Not much harder to do than a 20 yo Falcon!
