I'd be very very impressed if someone could get their hands into the position shown in figure 7/9 with the engine OUT of the car let alone IN the car lol!

* Remove the airbox
* With a 15mm spanner turn the aux belt tensioner clock wise to release it and remove the belt from the PAS pump (leave it go slack).
* Turn the steering full lock right
* Remove the front shit guard from behind the driver side wheel.
* Put the handbrake on and the car in gear and use an E20 Torx bit and some long extension bars to undo the bottom pulley bolt.
* Remove the pulley and remove the timing belt covers.
* Turn the engine over (rock the car back and forth ingear) until the timing marks on the cams are facing each other.
* Release the tensioner (T45 torx bit).
* Remove the rolers and belt
* Fit the new tensioner.
* Line up the bottom cog with the timing mark on the back of the rear belt cover.
* Double check your cams are still aligned.
* Fit the new rollers, route the belt..

I cant really explain how I get the belt over the cams, I go out of timing by about 1-2 teeth on the exahust side and use that to pull the slack out..

I'm hopefully going to change my cambelt on my corsa today or tomorrow, would anyone be interested in me doing a tutorial (with pictures) on how to do it? It would be for the X14/16XE engines :)
