Do it in sequence.
BEFORE you do that though..MAKE SURE the engine is perfectly timed. If you don't you run the risk of possibly bending valves.
Once you do that, install the timing belt tensioner pulley and bolt it to the block where it has the hole on the edge of it.
1 - Install it on the cog of the crankshaft and then 2 run it over the timing belt pulley and then 3 over the water pump and then 4 over the cam gear.
Turn the motor over three times by hand, this tensions the belt and frees up slack on the exhaust side.
The reason you do it in sequence is that you want the front side of the belt (exhaust side) to be tight and the intake side should be loose.Henry R

the problem is, is that the timing belt is on inside the crank pulley, so i was looking for a method to stop me from having to take the crank pulley off and get the belt on.Comment

dude it sounds like you REALLLYYYY need to follow a guide for this... the alignment and tension of this belt is one of the most critical things on the engine, and it needs to be done very specifically...

haha i dont need to follow a guide, i know how to do it, i was just looking for a slight shortcut, because getting the crank pulley off sucks.Comment

Apparently you do need the guide, because you are asking us for help.
Get the crank pulley off, its the first step in this process.Comment

There's no real easy way to get around the crank pulley. It's going to have to come off.Henry R

this is the critical point of any honda trust me i just lost my 93 over this shit . i had my time belt replaced just 5 years ago.. and it broke on me while driveing so i pretty much know the engine will not be the same.. so im stripping my 93 and getting another cb7.. but my point is dude if you are unsure about putting the belt on your lude. take it to a professinal and please do buy the best belt there is see mine was a 20 dollar autozone. and look at it now..Comment

At least you paid for it unlike some dishonest members around hereOriginally posted by jewelproject View Post
Anyways theres no way to do it without removing the crank pully
You clearly do need a guide if you don't understand that is a very important step to get to the timing belt.Comment

I don't see why you are complaining, it lasted 5 years just fine, mileage is also a factor. I had a Honda belt fail on me, but that was my fault.Originally posted by ichibahn View Post
Slap another belt on, you might get lucky. I did, and mine runs the best it ever has.Comment

you know another funny thing look at all these problems with these accords this and that wrong with them. dont get me wrong this and other web pages had helped me alot keep mine up and going..but the truth be known if i didnt have so many parts already for a cb7 i really dout i would even have another.. ...Comment

I knew i needed to take it off, just figured there might be a shortcut. No need for sarcasmComment

Nope no short cut
Get out your impact and it shoud zip right off. At least mine did

My electric impact wouldn't do it! It's only 230ft lbs though. Just rent a puller from your local autoparts store.Originally posted by Tippey764 View PostNope no short cut
