there is a tensioner pulley about in between the cam gear and the cam pulley, and all you have to do is loosen the nut that holds the tensioner pulley on enough to pull the belt off, i think its spring loaded. after thats loosened you can just pull the belt off. just make sure the cam gear is lined up before you take it off cause they tend to move around very easily with a loose belt.

yeah when u slide it off dont let it slack up. keep tension on it and zap strap it to the motor mount.

Or just mark the teeth and the belt so you know where it lines back up. :P

bah, dont even loosen the tensionar.. Take the 12mm bolt holding the cam gear on. mark 2 spots on the t-belt, and zip the the belt to the gear, then slide the gear off, (do this at TDC) try not to have any slack in the belt, you should be fine..

flat rate

it cant slip. he zip ties it to the cam gear. there are holes in it where u can throw a ziptie through..

im always scared when im ------- around with a timing belt, the timing seems to always be fucked up after i have my hands on it!!

Ghetto rate? omg JP, you know how many times I have done that? how will it slip? the belt is zip tied to the gear? I have never had a problem doing that once.

Tricks of the trade my friend, you can do it the slow way if you like..
