How in the name of all that is holy do you get the damn timing belt on without some form of sorcery?

I have managed a couple times but each time it literally takes hours of struggle.

What exactly were you hung up on?

I have no problem with Hondas timing belts, I think they are quite easy. You should have the opportunity to experience the fabulous engineering that goes into some other manufacturers' products....if only just for comparison. LOL
