You have to get the aux belt off =, then the crank pulley and then the timing cover mate! If the covers catching, turn the engine over by hand whilst pushing the belt towards the engine and then spin it a further once or twice by hand to make sure the belt is tracking true.
Sorry, for some reason your reply didn't come up before! Really, the aux belt is meant to be that hard to fit? The old one comes on and off with ease once the tensioner is fully released yet the new aux belt wouldn't. The timing belt went on fine though.
Yeah I realise that now, but I've damaged the bottom cover so need to get a new one which might be difficult. Will have the nightmare of getting the crank pulley off again to fit a cover once I get one. I will turn the engine over by hand and watch the belt while I do so.
