Does anyone have this tool that holds the FIP Sprocket in place while you remove the pump?

If you have and you have used it succesfully or it is an official Land Rover one, can you please let me know the length of it.

The one I have is part of a timing set for the BMW M51 engine and it is not long enough to keep the nut bit on the end outside the tensioner fulcrum, suely this is not right and it should be long enough to enable you to get a socket or spanner on the end of it?

Just found this on ebay which has confirmed my suspicions.
The correct tool is the one on the right and measures around 73mm in length.

The one supplied in the timing set made by Nielson and sold by DLGTools via ebay is only 55mm in length so not long enough for the nut to be outside the tensioner fulcrum to allow you to get a socket or spanner on it.

Look up Laser 1870, they are in that kit. If you are not in a hurry for them you can borrow mine after I get my FIP changed over and timed correctly.

cheers mate got to save up for the chains and bits that go with it first before i do the job:D:eek::p
