Ja.How do i change cam-belt on vauxhall combo van?Go for it Hippie girl ! but get yourself a Haynes manual first, and study it very well, and get the proper spanners and sockets, and tools, and your rubbery gloves, before you start work.

Make sure you get the correct matching belt!

A good idea too once you put it all together again,is to turn the engine by hand a few times by the crank bolt, just in case you have dropped a boll-ck!... if so, it should jam up, and you will then know, without bending them poor little valves, and you can reset your valve timing again correctly, I hope?

I also recommend highly, you renew the cam-belt tensioner bearing, and the water pump, if it 麓s also driven by the cam-belt ,on this model !

I once new a girl, bit like you, very keen to do a similar job.

She had the brainwave? to take Polaroid camera snaps, as she went, and did so.

She got it all to pieces, a big gust of wind blew all the photos on the floor, mixing them up, Aghhhhhh!

Mind you, that was before the days of Yahoo Answers!

if it turns by hand and is 'free' then you can start it safely .
