That last 2 timing belts i have installed have been by getting the timing belt marks lined up and then rolling the belt onto the top cam gear sorta like putting a bike chain on.. There is not a lot of room between the block and shock tower as you know. Any tips or instructions? Does it unbolt or swing out of the way?

Have you checked out the factory manual yet?

Dont have one. Had one with my colt and mirage, but not summit. On the last 1.5 I started to loosen the bolt, but then retightened as I didnt want anything to fall apart due to the lack of room I had to work with.
