it on the
smaller one. With a large breaker-bar, or ratchet, you can turn the engine
over and that should rotate the belt into place."
That's contrary to accepted (and proven) technique. Install the belt on the
smaller pulley, get it started on the larger pulley, and turn the engine to
roll it on. Always turn the engine in the direction in which it runs to
avoid potential timing belt problems. John
