How did you share the tasks? It would be an understatement to say that it was "a pain" for one person to hold two sprocket wheels in a precise position against considerable valve spring pressure with just one hand on each.

I wasn't asking about
adjusting the tensioner Ben. Was the hydraulic casing bolted to the engine at the time that you laced the belt?

That's not true. There is a tool separately available for the 190 engine. Some members say that the spigots on the standard tool can be reversed to achieve the same result.

Which bolt head? Did you remove the exhaust cam sprocket to release the belt? Your reply implies that you did. If so, I can't think of a bolt head which you could have used.

You claimed to have done it without the tools so I'd like to hear your explanation please. Or are you saying that the person helping you was
Trikey?
