TO CHANGE CAMBELT ON MONDEO YOU FIRST HAVE TO REMOVE NO 1 SPARK PLUG AND ROTATE OR ROCK THE CAR IN GEAR . TO BRING NO1 PISTON UP TO THE TOP FULLY A WAY OF CHECKING THIS IS TO HAVE SOME BODY INSERT A LONG FLAT HEADED SCREW DRIVED UNTIL IT REACHES TOP DEAD CENTRE . REMOVE ROCKER COVER AND INSERT A CAM SHAFT ALIGHNING TOOL I PURCHESED ONE THESE FROM A COMPANY CALLED AJAY AUTO PARTS . BUT THESE CAN BE A PAIN IN THE ASS TO FIND .INSERT INTO CAMSHAFT SLOTS IF THIS TOOL DOES NOT FIT THEN THE TIMIMG IS 180 DEGREES OUT AND NEEDS TO BE ROTATED UNTIL THIS FITS AND LAYS FLAT ON TOP OF ROCKER COVER SURFACE . REMOVE TIMING COVERS . I.E THE BEST WAY TO THIS IS TO JACK THE ENGINE FRIM GEARBOX END UNDO ENGINE CRADLE ON DRIVERS SIDE CAR . REMOVE CASES AND USING A 17 MM SPANNER UNDO TIMING TENSIONNER . OR BUY A TORX TOOL . SLACKEN REMOVE SO EASY IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME V_FOSBERRY@MSN.COM I BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO TALK YOU THROUGH
