Timing Belt

[jon93]

im in the process of doing the front 60k and when i took my timing belt off, the sprokets moved out of position.whats the bestt way to get them in line again?

The best way to get them in line again is to follow the complete timing procedures, you definitely don't want those sprockets messed up! If you have a chilton's/hane's/FSM the procedure will be in there, if not, it may be available online somewhere?

That will give you instructions and pictures on how to get the timing belt back on properly.

I would use a strap wrench to move the sprockets back to there timing marks.

Definetly do a complete reassemble of the timing belt, i thought i could just bolt the cranks back up and run, but that didnt happen, i never got it started, I had a shop do the timing bely, and after all the labor, i was down 600. but it was worth it. MY SHO FLYS!
