I am finishing up my cam upgrade and struggling a bit with getting the belt back on. Do you put both idler pullies back on before you route the belt around? I have the belt on but left off the one idler pulley with the lip to the front but having a very hard time to get the idler pulley back on with the belt on.
I did this for the first time yesterday! Like you I had removed the right hand idler. Do you have the tensioner held in the non-tensioned position? I did this by holding the 11/16" spanner with my trolley jack.
Assuming that you have the allignment pins in the three cam pulleys and that the pinion pulley is alligned to FTDC, with a little huffing & puffing you should then be able to slip the belt into position. Then just hold the idler tight against the belt and you should be able to wangle the fixing bolt into position. If not, then the belt is probably a notch out somewhere. Good luck!
