I'm so sick of trying to replace this freaking timing belt. It seems like one problem after another. I was probably better off taking it to a mechanic. I can't get the timing belt back on. I checked the new belt with the old one and they are bolt the same size and same amount of teeth. I wanted to double check so I tried to get the old belt back on and it was a little bit too short. I followed the manuel and website on which way to put the belt on and still no luck. Also I tried heating the belt and pulling on it. Should I pull on it hard? I don't see any other options. Anyone have any suggestions?

WHERE EXACTLY ARE YOU HAVING HARD TO PUT THE BELT ON? HAVE YOU TRIED WHAT I TOLD YOU TO DO? LOOSEN THE 12MM BOLTS, THEN PRY THE TENSIONER BACK, TIGHTENED THE 12MM BOLT ON YOUR RIGHT OF THE TENSIONER TO HOLD IT BACK IN PLACE, THEN START ROUTING THE BELT COUNTER CLOCKWISE WHERE THERE IS NO SLACK IN THE BELT, IF THERE IS SLACK/PLAY, ROTATE THE CRANK TO COMPENSATE, THEN YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO PUT THE BELT ON.

. what you should do is before you go ahead and put back everything, after releasing the tensioner, rotate the engine in the normal rotation 2 times see if the timing marks line up. you can also check the tension on the belt also.
