Are you stuck on anything yet? The hardest part is going to be getting the crank pulley bolt off.

If you're having trouble, just take it a mechanic, get them to break it with their air tools, and then just put it back on tight enough to get you home. Then just crack it again with a break bar when you get home.

I'm not sure why i would need to get the crank pulley bolt off, but i am currently having trouble gettin a good grip on the tensioner bolt and i cant loosen the timing belt enough to get it off.

So you can get the lower timing cover off? Take the crank pulley off first i think. If you thought the tensioner bolt is bad, wait till you try that mother.
