You will have to at least remove the tensioner first. I don't
remember where you are with this project. If the chain is already
broken, or the head off, no worry.
Yes, that's what I was thinking, fashion some sort of round stiff material
to fit between the chain and the teeth to allow ease of R/R.
I'm going to get a quote on this tool regardless, if it's only $20 or so I
may spring for it.

Subject: Re: [MBZ] DO I NEED THE SPECIAL TOOL / ASSEMBLY BASKET FOR R/R THE
IP TIMER
Got tinsnips? You should be able to take a piece of tin and cut
something workable. I think that tool is more of a timesaver, than a
necessity. MOST special tools are not a necessity, if you can apply
some time and ingenuity.
Dieselvolk,
Is the special tool called an "assembly basket" absolutely required, or
just
nice to have? I'm referring to tool # 601 589 05 14 00, in the 124 service
manual in procedures 07.1-8410 and -8014. It looks like it holds the
timing
chain to the outside after the timer is removed, and maybe it also holds
the
chain off of the timer teeth so that the timer is more easily
removed/installed.
Very respectfully,
