Elise S1 cam belt change

[Brown and Boris]

Is it the easiest route to take the rear clam off to get access? I think the rear clam removal is about 45 mins work but how long should a cam belt change then take?

no dont bother, just the drivers side rear wheel and arch liner will do. You will need to diconnect the engine mount though so you can slide the belt on.

Thanks for that, jolly useful. Now I can't figure out why they charge so much for the job on a C service.

Remember the jack under the engine to keep it supported when you unbolt the engine mount.

All done.

BTW, anyone know what the fit time is supposed to be on the cambelt?
