and the tensioner and the idler pullies? I got the old timing gear off, but now I can't get the new timing belt over all the gears and pullies no matter how much I wrestle with the belt tensioner. I've loosened the tensioner bolt, put an allen wrench in the hex-hole in the face of the tensioner pulley and turned the pulley to allow maximum clearance for the belt to pass straight through down to the crank gear. I've tried prying the tensioner with screw-drivers away from the belt, prying the belt onto the crank-gear, yanking on the belt really hard, everything I can think of and the belt's too tight to get it around the 2 cam sprockets, the crank gear, the idler pulley, and the tensioner-pulley. All I need's about 1/4" more belt and I'd be able to get the timing belt back on and then worry about the surpentine belt. I may have to get the car towed tomorrow to the ford place to let the pros do it. Is there a way for the tensioner-pulley to move even further back giving more belt to go
