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
Did you compare the old belt to the new belt in sizes? Just act like you're trying to stretch them by putting them both between your thumbs and pulling them away from each other and see if there's any difference in size! Keep me updated on how it goes pal!
