When I had a Miata, people on that list used a trick to change the
Miata timing belt. They would cut the belt in half lengthwise, while
it was still in place, and remove the outer half. Then they would
slip the new belt into place half-way, cut the remaining old belt
off, and slide the new belt the rest of the way on.  This would
keep camshafts and crankshaft aligned.

Has anyone tried with with the V6 (or I5) timing belt?
