Yay. my! car is running again. I installed a timing belt, water pump and a new power steering belt. The job was not that hard. I used all 3 celica manuals and picked up tips from all 3. The hardest part was trying to remove the crankshaft pulley without a crankshaft pulley holding tool. After a day of trying all kinds of different things, a friend said why dont I just use his impact wrench. It came off in seconds! The next hardest thing was, the books did not call out a bolt that was under the engine mounting bracket. Its there. removing the engine mounts was easy, and I had to jack the engine up and down to get to bolts from the bottom and the top of the car. Use a hydraulic jack. Other then that, its not hard and i consider myself more of a body man then a mechanic.

I need to have mine done, but I think I'm going to just take it to the Toyota dealer in town, I don't really feel like bothering with it.
