Everybody has probably done this one except me. Like most of you I like to work on my own car and its time for a timing belt change. I was wondering if any body has some easy step by step procedures and dos' and do don'ts, any pics would be appreciated as well. I want to do this step first before I install my supercharger kit but I just don't have that confidence yet. Thanks!

I may be wrong but I imagine it should be changed every 100K. I'm just over that.

I was told by the dealer that the timing belt is to get done at 200-220k.

Well I think it would be easier to replace before I do the supercharger kit. Less to remove and I probably won't have to change it after that.
