NEED HELP ASAp!!! Cam gear bolt!

I have my car torn apart and belt off, but I can't get the cam gear bolt out. The socket wrench doesn't fit in because of a stud in the way. What should I do!! Help.

Well I messed up bad. I finally got the belt back on the stock one, although it's really loose. I'm gonna see if the car starts after everything is put back. Then I can get to the gear later since the cover will be off.

I HOPE the timing isn't off. Well I don't know how to get the bolt off. I think I need a wrench, but the one I have keeps slipping. And I think it's turning the camshaft as I loosen it. Oh man this sucks. I'll try and get a pic.

I think I can remove it with an adjustable wrench. So how do I set it? retard or advance, and how much? Thanks.

I'm in big trouble. I can't get the belt back on the stock gear. I've been prying and pulling for 2 hours and nothing. My hands are numb and bleeding and I'm really sick now. And it's getting dark. I don't know what to do. I need my car back.

There is a tensioner bolt that needs to be loosened so you can slide the belt back over the gear.

**PM me for my phone number.
