Message screwdriver blade into the flywheel/starter teeth and that worked fine. Starter is pretty easy to remove. Nice thing about doing it this way - can leave the old belt in-place to hold the CAM gears from moving to get the bolts undone.

Once you are ready to install the new belt -- slip the old one back on (doesn't matter how it goes as long as the CAMs are at rest) then re-tighten bolts that way.

Those intake cam bolts need a fair amount of torque -- so doing it by using the old belt works well (and the new belt doesn't get stretched)...

My 2 cents....

PS: Enjoy getting the old cam and crank seals out - just the most fun you can have! FYI -- Have you looked over this helper t-belt FAQ? Click here >>> La-Z-Link
