try on migweb or the vectra owners forum. iirc when u take the bottom pulley off there is an indent in the belt pulley that lines up with a notch & the 2 pointers on the cam wheels go vertical lined up with the notches on the cam rocker cover. its an autotensioner & the pointer on it needs to be alighned correctly so it willl tension right - can't remember that bit though
