Thank you for the post. I have never done a timing belt before, but it does not look that bad on the Zetech. I have a subscription to ALLDATADIY.COM and the Haynes manual, both have great step by step instructions, but talk about the tool. Where can I puchase the $7.00 spring? Can I get it on the web some place?

I have a friend who has done this before (not on a Zetech, but on other cars) so I can elicit his help with a 6-pack

I agree that the important thing is to take my time. I think I will replace the water pump at the same time. What pullies should I do?

Also, would this be a good time to do a DMD?
