Cambelt Change (timing hole alignment)

[Mark]

Mine was, i had to hold the belt and spin the engine over whilst someone (stronger) than me was feeding the belt onto the power steering pulley as it kept falling off the idler pulley! Do you have access to an air gun? Would help you loads! There's only 2 or 3, 10 mm bolt behind the pulley holding the bottom timing cover on too! If you don't have an air gun, put the car into 5th gear and get someone to hold the brake as hard as possible then try and loosen with a breaker bar!

I did try something like that, but had the issue of it falling off the tensioner! Still think I have the incorrect belt now as apparently the one I've got is for earlier models. No, don't have an air gun. Will do the 5th gear & brakes on whilst using a long bar & if not use the flick of the starter motor. Yeah, it is only 2 10mm bolts behind the pulley & the other one further up the side. Just got to find a new cover 1st
