What you say makes sense,and I am in no way knocking the reasoning behind it but in all my years (and they are many !) of repairing and replacing cam belts on Zetec's I have never had one fail due to the pulleys coming loose.
If it say's use new bolts/loctite/torque wrench that's what should be done.
Others may have had the carnage left by belt failure/cam wheels loose but the only times I have repaired them is for belt failure due to misuse or lack of maintainence.
And one little thought and most will be suprised or not as the case may be it is possible to remove a Zetec without dropping the complete subframe and leave the box in place.
