1985 BMW 325e Timing Belt replacement

Its a step by step instructions to replace the timing belt and water pump on BMW 325e 1985 model year. I hope these pictures will help it all make sense. I took them as I did the job. Removal of: Fan and clutch, water pump friction disc is secured, Cap Distributor and rotor and drive Belts. Remember, 32 mm nut opens clockwise as you look at the car. I used channel lock and a strap wrench to keep friction disc is still ensured. I also used the strap wrench to hold the water pump friction disc is secured, while I removed the 4 retaining bolts. Remove the 6 hex bolts from the crankshaft friction disc is secured, and Remove it, and vibration Damper behind from the car. Vibration Damper is indexed and have no separate bolts. The track came out very clean ... everything was ready for re-Assembly.
