Can't get my timing belt on Please Help 700

Even with that nail there's a lot of fudge left to the spring. Thickness of the nail can even make enough difference. Java's suggestion helps - have it only 1/2 or 3/4 on the three gears, hook the backside of the belt in your 17mm open end to lift it over the tensioner wheel. Just don't damage the edge by forcing it to roll back as it meets the tensioner wheel's outside circumference. The long wrench gives you some advantage.
