Thx for the vid. Regarding the axle shaft bracket, that one bolt by the CV joint is tough. I see you guys managed to slide the axle outboard a few inches. Did you have to loosen the suspension at all? I'm stuck trying to get that bolt out. Ford says "may have to rotate the axle" which just isn't working.

[@bensullivan]

Ok, just took another stab at it and figured it out. :) The bolt behind the CV doesn't need to be removed, just loosened because the bracket is SLOTTED. At first I was upset at those Ford engineers, but this worked out pretty well in the end. I wish there was a notation about that in the shop manual.

All good my man

[@mahmutalbayrak7097]

I'm wondering when you tighten the crank shaft pulley bolt how to stop the crank shaft.

[@Simonstockton82]

How to stop it from moving? You leave all the locking tools in while you do that mate. So the cam shaft locks, the crank locking bolt and the fly wheel locking tool all stay in place. This stops the crank rotating while you torque the crank shaft pulley bolt.

[@TheChayLonsdale]

Do you have a copy of the full workshop manual? Been trying to find one for ages

[@Simonstockton82]

No mate it’s too big I only downloaded the bits just needed

[@benjaminrichardson2950]

How long would you say the job would take you?

[@Simonstockton82]

4-7 hours depending on experience

[@benjaminrichardson2950]

​@@Simonstockton82 I was going to mention, did you put the crank locking pin back in after rotating the crank 1& 3/4 times, so that you were checking the timing of the cams against TDC again. That's what the manual says to do to verify timing but l didn't see it in the video.

Hello what is you hear like a whining noise after changing everything? If I loosen up a bit the timing belt cover bolt it goes away...

[@Simonstockton82]

Check everything is lined up properly sounds like something is rubbing against the cover

[@themintandbean]

@@Simonstockton82 Found the issue, small, the rubber seal of the timing belt cover could have been rubbing against the belt? I loosen up a bit one bolt at the back of the cover and the sound went away. First time doing this and went amazingly well! Thank you for the guide, brilliant! New timing belt, aux belt, tensioner, water pump and spark plugs. Big job, all Sunday but my Fiesta ST now is running amazing!

[@Simonstockton82]

You're so welcome mate!!!

[@themintandbean]

@@Simonstockton82 Thank you. The worst part everything to remove the starter motor to lock the flywheel.

[@Simonstockton82]

Haha. I had already done a starter motor on one so it wasn't as bad second time round

[@robertmoore1132]

I followed this step by step and now have a miss fire on 1 and 4 - any suggestions ?

[@Simonstockton82]

My first point of investigation would be coils and plugs as they are the easiest to get to, after that I would check the timing again but I’m leaning towards the timing not being set properly mate

[@robertmoore1132]

@Simonstockton82 mechanical or eletrical ? I leaning to electrical as with the crank locked at TDC the timing tool fitted perfectly !

[@Simonstockton82]

@robertmoore1132 fair point, check the CPS connections and all other electrical connections. Did you rotate the crank after without the locking tools to make sure belt didn’t slip?

[@robertmoore1132]

@Simonstockton82 yes, I roated about 4 times and a seccond person roated twice, after which the timing tools re inserted without issue

[@Simonstockton82]

Well I would deffo say it’s something electrical mate. Just go back over everything you touched.

[@ronaldhamblin4615]

Why did you not fit a water pump why it was striped down just seems a bit silly to me 😮

[@Simonstockton82]

Low KM engine that didn’t even need a timing belt, car was flood damaged and water line came up to crank seal and damaged it causing it to leak. No point in wasting money on a water pump when it was such a low KM engine 60,000km (37,000 miles)

[@meganjay30]

All that work and you didn't do the water pump... 😳

[@Simonstockton82]

60’000km engine only just broken in. Only changed the belt cause I had to remove it to change the crank shaft oil seal after flood damage

[@meganjay30]

@@Simonstockton82 still worth doing as they have a plastic turbine.. not a good design at all IMO
