960 timing belt - DIY job or no? 900

posted by  someone claiming to be ezvictor on  Fri Jun 18 07:59 CST 2004 [RELATED]

I have just become the owner of a 1996 960 wagon (2.9L 24v -122K miles) I can't find any evidence that the timing belt has been changed at 70K and would like to do it myself. I am no pro mechanic but have done my fair share of brakes, clutches, starters, tune ups and other tinkering. Is there any reason I should leave this to a pro or could I do it myself? Also, any advice from you veteran Volvo owners on what other components I should inspect/replace at this age and mileage?
Thanks for your help!!
