Hey Everyone!Heres my problem.I have an 1987 escort gt 1.9 efi ho with apx 180000kms.My timing belt broke as i was pulling into my drivewayD'OH.At least i avoided towing costs.Anyways i refered to my hanes manual,pulled out the starter, timing belt cover,altenator,You know the usual when i came to the pully.Hmmmmm the manual says to simply put a screwdriver in the flywheel.No problem.then remove the bolt from the pully.Well theres apx. .5 of an inch at most clearence.The only thing i can see is to drop the motor mount on that side.My question is this correct,will dropping the mount do harm?If anyone knows Id appriciate it.THANKS

You are going to need an engine lift. remove the front engine mount and lower the engine past fender well. You don't need a screw driver in the flywheel if you have an impack wrench. And you may need a puller to get the crank pulley off.
