        But if you fit a new belt you'll have to adjust it's tension. You may have to destroy the nut to get it off.

            It will be a bitch to get the belt back on without loosening the tensioner.

            Your best bet would be to take the nut off any way you can and get a new one.

              What I usually do for rounded off nuts is take a file to it, and make two flat edges parallel to each other, on opposite sides of the nut/bolt, then put a pair of vice grips on it. I can usually get them off.

                It would be hard to get the belt back on, but not impossible (only nearly!). A new nut can't cost much.

                By the way d112crzy, can you change the pic in your sig? I find it hard to concentrate when I'm sexually aroused!

                          You should line everything up before you even take it off.

                          And on putting it back on, yes, make sure everything is lined up before you tighten it back up.

                              Use vice grips like someone said, if you can file edges to help. Also, there are special sockets to remove rounded off/corroded fasteners that Craftsman has, purchase a set.

                              You need to remove that adjustment nut to reinstall the timing belt properly. You will have to ensure alignment of the belt so your cam timing is not off, also because you have to reset the tension anyhow, it's part of the procedure. This is not a good shortcut you're thinking of doing. The job needs to be done right or don't mess with it at all.
