	hello, just doing some work on my van before going off travelling and wanted to change the cam belt. Have had a good look but can't work out how to get the pulleys / fan off to get at the bottom crank pulley... anyone done a change before that could give me some pointers? it's a 6 cyl 2.4 diesel. thanks all.
