I'm hopefully going to change my cambelt on my corsa today or tomorrow, would anyone be interested in me doing a tutorial (with pictures) on how to do it? It would be for the X14/16XE engines

* Remove the airbox
* With a 15mm spanner turn the aux belt tensioner clock wise to release it and remove the belt from the PAS pump (leave it go slack).
* Turn the steering full lock right
* Remove the front shit guard from behind the driver side wheel.
* Put the handbrake on and the car in gear and use an E20 Torx bit and some long extension bars to undo the bottom pulley bolt.
* Remove the pulley and remove the timing belt covers.
* Turn the engine over (rock the car back and forth ingear) until the timing marks on the cams are facing each other.
* Release the tensioner (T45 torx bit).
* Remove the rolers and belt
* Fit the new tensioner.
* Line up the bottom cog with the timing mark on the back of the rear belt cover.
* Double check your cams are still aligned.
* Fit the new rollers, route the belt..

I cant really explain how I get the belt over the cams, I go out of timing by about 1-2 teeth on the exahust side and use that to pull the slack out..

I'd be very very impressed if someone could get their hands into the position shown in figure 7/9 with the engine OUT of the car let alone IN the car lol!
