Is it possible to replace cams without removing the timing belt and have to do time belt install all over again? May be if I lock the belt to upper cam gears and just take off bolts on cam gears?Or some how keep same tension on belt and gears so the don't move..Any tried this B4?:beatentodeath:
 
sure can just use some wire and tie the tbelt out of the way so it doesnt fall down into the case....how long ago did you replace the tbelt anyway?
 
The timing belt has about 3000 miles on it.The link I checked b4 has a special tension tool..Is that needed?
