91 eagle talon tsi awd, Reinstalling the timing belt, belt cover and crankshaft damper. With the cranshaft damper being a combined pulley for the timing belt and accessory drive, How do you properly tension the timing belt put on the cover and then put on the crankshaft damper? The crankshaft damper is one piece on all three belts and has to go on after the cover?

 

Optional Information:

Already Tried:
can't figure how to tension timing belt without the cranshaft portion of the pully system on yet?

Hello Pedal there, Super mechanic again. There are 3 bolts that hold the crankshaft pulley to the crankshaft sprocket. I think they are a inverted torx, (t25) Here is what it will look like with the pulley off. You can install the center bolt for the sprocket and then put the pulley on after you have the belt and all of the sprockets on,

Can't see very well with that image, Mine does not come apart, that I can see. It's all one peice with the whole in the cover big enough for the timing part to go through down to the timing belt. It's not like the one's I see pictured in the manual's, with three spokes. My dampner is solid with four screws that i've removed to no avail. I'll send pics when I get home (at work now)
