you will need a 9.5mm drill bit to lock the injection pump and a makeshift pin to fit into the bellhousing wadding plug hole to lock into the flywheel slot to lock the flywheel and a similar one for the timing case wadding plug hole to lock the crank shaft but the last one i did on my own car i didn't bother doing the latter just kept an eye on the crank shaft and moved it back to its right position but time it all up first before you start stripping it so you know where the timing marks are.

The bellhousing hole locks the flywheel. You don't need to lock the crankshaft, because the locking of the flywheel locks the crank.

Get the locking kit - it will save you money.
 
you dont need one front crank pulley has marks as cam and drill is as good as pin for pump ,hold pump pulley against pin while tightening the 3x bolt clockwise to take up any play
 
Timing tool kit has locking pins and crank pulley puller. Worth their weight in gold, as many peeps have found out to their cost. Usually found on fleabay.
 
There are many threads on here with tales of woe after doing this job without proper pins that it seems pointless not to get them. I made mine but I do have an engineering shop. The pump pin is 3/8" or 9.5mm and the flywheel one was made from a wading plug, drilled in the lathe and fitted for a 3/16" pin I think.

When done, check and re-check all the settings, lock the flywheel and the pump pin MUST slip in easily if not then it's not set right. It can take some time to get right but pump timing is vital in a diesel. Don't forget to work the new belt on from crank to cam to pump, the slack part must be on the tensioner section of belt.
