Working from the top just doesn't work for me. Too tight. I figure it can be done but it doesn't save any time. Pulling the liner is easy. I can jack the car, pull the wheel and get the liner off in under 10 minutes so never had an issue with it. I find it goes back in pretty easily, too.
I can see maybe doing the belt from the top, but not the tensioner assembly. Has to be harder to route the belt from the top, too. Maybe my hands are too big!
