timing belt adjusting nut? no such thing, are you talking about the tensioner bolt?

I think he's talking about the tensioner bolt. There's really no trick to get it off. Just get a good grip on it and put some elbow grease on it. I usually use a long 14mm wrench on it to get a little more torque. Becareful if you're using a ratchet on it, i've found that it sometimes tends to round off the head of the bolt.

yeah that 14mm nut is the one i am talking about but in helms it says it is torqued to 33 ft/lb and this thing dont budge with an open end wrench attached to a 3 ft cheater bar it started to round the nut and i decided to quit i dont know what to do
