Timing belt and heater hose replacement 850

T-belt is straightforward, but finding crank mark is hard, it's a teeny weeny little notch out on the crack gear at the block, it is not on the pulley. Line everything up and cut belt rather than try to squeeze it past the pulley, alternatively, use impact gun to remove 4 bolts and bit nut on crank pulley (but I cut belt). Mark old belt with white out at the 2 cam pulleys and transfer marks to new belt before you remove the belt. You will find the crank won't move, but the exhaust cam wants to rotate a tick clockwise. The marks will help you realize this and keep the engine in time easier. A 3rd hand helps, but it is doable, way easier than my VW.

No experience with heater hoses...yet.
