Hi , Any of you mechanical geniuses out there ever come up with an alternative tool for holding the injection pump pulley on a 300tdi when the pump is being removed ? At £120 for the original tool I'd be interested to hear if there is an alternative . Thanks , Gerry .

That's exactly what I need . I was amazed at the price of the pulley support tool alone with any of the usual online Land Rover suppliers , thanks for that .
You probably wouldn't be able to make it cheaper than buying the kit once you consider metal, machine time and postage, plus the kit also comes with all the flywheel timing pins which the OP will need some time in the future. That said, if you can get crank pulley holding tools similar to this made that would be more useful, when I got mine a couple of years ago they were around the £55 mark but looks like they are creeping up in price.
Yes it is attached using the 4 bolt holes in the crank pulley, the arm then rests on the chassis rail as a counter-hold when you undo (or do up) the main crank bolt. Unfortunately mine is in storage as I'm prepping for a house move at the moment so can't measure it up.
