Bought one!

I did the timing belt on my '95 and it took some time. Bay 13 has very, very good instructions. The hardest thing is getting the new belt around tyhe harmonic balancer (cut the old one and pull it out) Give yourself about 6 hours. I replaced the water pump while I was there -- not too hard, but use some 3 bond or other adhesive to glue the gasket to the pump. Beter have 1/4" ratchet and extensions / swivels too!! It took some time, but saved over $500.00. Be careful in compressing the hydraulic tensioner. Do this SLOWLY in a vise -- the fluid is very viscous. Change the serpentine belt too. You will need he tool to get it around it's tensioner -- buy it from IPD. Good luck
