easy way to get tdc on td42

[Makka]

hi guys trying to get tdc on the diesel haveing a bugger of a time doing it on my own what is the easyway to do this over than pulling injectors back out

[Rossco]

Big socket on the crank? Pulling the glow plugs would be easier than injectors if you had too. . .

Use a 19mm socket on the power steering pump. Tighten the belt if necessary to get it to turn. And make sure its out of gear.
