Timing belt, tensioner, water pump and seal installation how difficult and time wise of a job is it for these repairs, please help! 700

Hello folks!


Does anyone know what difficulties that one could experience when replacing the tensioner, timing belt, seals, and water pump? Also in which order should the aforementioned components be installed. Again I seek the most practical method for these installations. Also how long could a belt in good condition last? Presently the belt has 73,500 miles on it, whereas I am about 24,000 miles overdue. Could I get another 10-15,000 miles out of it. I have been inspecting it once every 2 weeks, and all appears to be ok. Could the tensioner simply be removed after the belt and the new one installed. Please all experiences and or suggestions are welcome!


Best regards
