Default Timing Belt

I hoping to do my water pump and belts next weekend. Is there anyone in the South Florida that has done this before who can lend me hand. I don't have the special tools necessary for it. So if someone has them they can hopefully bring them. I just don't have the money to bring it in to have it done righ now. And it needs it badly... Some please. I can offer a Nice dinner for the help..

There is at least one other lister in Boca Raton and a couple of others in Ft. Lauderdale. I don't know if they have experience with timing belts, but they might know of a shop in case you get into trouble. I used the $10 krikit to tension my belts and it seems to work ok (Special order at Napa, p/n KR-1).

Hey, I'm just down here in lauderdale, Did the belts on mine this spring, along with clutch and a bunch of other tinings. Once this blimy storm gets over should be able to lend a hand. It's not really that hard a job, altho I didn't do the waterpump, just belts. Send me a PM with the details on when where, phone no. ect. We'll see what we can do.

water pump isn't all that hard either...you just have to get the back belt cover off, which to do that, you must remove the pulleys, tensioners, etc.etc.etc.... it's just time consuming.
