What am I doing wrong ? I seem unable to get a new timing belt on. Access not a problem, the engine is out.
I have followed the manual etc, and checked I have the right part (based on age and engine size), but it is so tight that I cannot get it on with the tensioner correctly in place. (I can only get 1 bolt in). The old belt is slightly longer (fits neatly over the existing belt), but has about 20 missing teeth, So am I correct to assume it has stretched ? Does a timing belt that is a few mm longer exist for Ford ? i.e. have I got the wrong part ? Is there a special method to make it fit - I have tried brute force already !
