Timing belt (HELP)

Cora323 · 01-30-2003, 11:44 PM

I'm tring to change the timing belt on my 2.3L 93 stang. I'm having a problem removing the belt. The crank shaft pulley has a cover, which requires the pulley to be removed, so that the belt can come off. I'm having a hard time removing the bolt. It is extremely tight. I actually broke a craftsman tool today trying it. Any suggestions, or does anyone know of any site on the net which gives some instructions on the installation of a timing belt, or does anyone have any tips they can give me. I would really appreciate your feed back, specially if any of you have already done this. Thanks,

-Gilbert.

Take a 1/2" drive breaker bar (or socket with a breaker bar on it). Put it on the bolt and wedge it against the ground. Crank the motor over

Simple enough, wasn't it
