TRING TO PLACE BELT BACK ON A 2000 FORD TURUAS CAN YOU HELP WITH ROUTING
Yes , the 2.0 liter ( DOHC and SOHC ) engines in a 2000 Ford Focus have timing BELTS
there should be a hole on the tensioner bar that fits a 3/8 ratchet. using the ratchet rotate the bar counter-clockwise(on a 2000 mustang) to loosen the belt.
The Ford recommended mileage for replacing the timing belt is 120,000 miles, for the 2000 Focus. I doubt that the engine changed much, if any, between 2000 and 2001.
loosen the tent ion on the pulley and the belt should slide off easily
To adjust or replace the belt first loosen the pivot bolt (through-bolt) at the bottom of the bracket. Next loosen the adjuster lock bolt and move the pump to allow belt replacement.
Loosen the pulley first and then the belt should loosen off the tracks., follow the diagram on the hood
