Downpipe follow on questions

[brian_wagner at sbcglobal.net (Brian Wagner)]

First off all don't remove the large center bolt on the crank pulley, just
the 4 small hex bolts (the large bolt is to remove the timing belt cog). And
as for the rest replace as needed. Normal thread

Subject: Downpipe follow on questions

I'm the guy with the '86 16v rocco with cracked flex joint in the downpipe. 
I have removed the downpipe and was wondering if there is anything else I
should do (maint wise) while its removed? It seems that every fix requires
removing three or more parts that are in the way, so if the downpipe blocks
a common fix it would be nice to know about it. 

Also I'm replacing the engine mounts. On the passenger side I think I need
to remove the crank pulleys and the timing belt to get to the mount bolts on
the engine? is this true? I don't have an impact wrech, how do you remove
the
crank pulley bolt? Is it normal (or reverse) threaded?

Oh, one more thing it seems the factory spec waterpump/AC belt is incredibly
hard to get on and off. Do people get bigger belts? if so what size? 

Thanks in advance,
Jim
