OMG, dont listen to any one, you have to remove the cog from the crankshaft to do this! Then you put your new belt in place and reinstall the gear! its that simple, there are no shortcuts! it just may require one extra 6 pack!

whoops, thought he meant the front timing belt cover

i cant believe a noob called me out on my own motor
