It's a bit of a bitch to r&r. You have to pull everything off the front of the motor if I remember correctly.
It's not enough of a bitch to take it to a mechanic($$$$$$) though.

I've found Japanese vehicles to be way easier to work on than north amercian vehicles. Go to Walmart, pick up a Chilton repair manual, and have at any job.

You may as well replace the timing belt while you have the thing apart.... Not that tough, you just have to disassemble the entire front end, j/k :D
It's not that bad... Just time consuming... Dealer will likely charge you about 600 to do....

Shouldn't you be in confessional or something?
