Changing a timing belt....

Hello guys,
I have a T-belt, tensioner and a water pump. Am I forgetting something? Thank you in advance! I'll be happy if you share any tricks with me to make the job easier. Thanks again!

Best bet is to try and get a FSM.

i just got done with mine a week ago. couple tips: loosen your water pump pully bolts while its belt is on, don't try to loosen your crank pully with manual tools and to torque it when putting it back on, have someone push the torque wrench towards the back of the car with their foot from the front of the car while you hold the pully steady with a rubber strap wrench and watch it until it hits 90 or so. good luck, pm me if you run into trouble.

I took a breaker bar and a socket to fit the crank bolt. Wedged it just right and started the car

Spun it right off!

wtf? no.

it's 3 seperate suggestions.

1-loosen your wather pump pully bolts while the belt is on.
2-don't try to loosen your crankshaft pully bolt with manual tools
3-to torque it when putting it back on do this.....

anyway, i ended up borrowing an impact wrench. interesting method you got there goon
