Timing Belt and Water Pump

I did it myself and it wasn't bad. The only problem I ran into was removing the main crank pulley bolt. The thing would not budge with a breaker bar, so I tried a 1/2" impact wrench, that didn't work either. Well, I decided to break out the sickness, and hit it with my 3/4" impact. I was worried about ripping the head off of the bolt, which, had it happened, would have ruined my day: thank the Lord it didn't. The 3/4" did the trick.

So, if you don't have air tools, I would think twice about doing it (call me lazy).

Another problem I ran into is the size of my hands. I had big problems getting the bolts off of the timing belt lower cover, simply because I could hardly fit my hands in there.

If you have big hands, have a kid around to help you out; it will be good experience for them.

other than that, it was fairly straightforward. How much experience do you have with projects like this? If you run into any problems, just come back to the forums and you will get help. also, follow your manual.
