Ok... thanks to this forum, I was able to complete this complex job. Actuality, it was quite easy after getting my hands into it. After reading all (I think) the threads on timing belts, I had a really good understanding on the task in front of me. This thread completed my research. There were three items that I wanted to touch on that I felt was important and delayed my project.

1. It is a "MUST" to us a good "OEM" Chrysler harmonic dampner remover. Do not try anything else! I posted a picture of the one I rented from my local auto shop. The cheap ones, as Makku stated, is junk.

2. The right engine support bracket (timing belt side) was a little confusing in all the threads. I posted two pictures of the support without the timing belt covers to show what is involved. Remember that there is a single bolt that is located in the wheel well that uses a torx (T-55). This is the mounting bolt that is connected to the engine support bracket that you do not see

3. Removing the exhaust manifold at the cat is a must. Makku explains it very well by using extensions. The bolts are not on very tight, so it it easy to remove.

Thats it! Lots of things to remove, but not that hard... really! Car runs great and now to the next job on my new 06, right wheel bearing.

Also, if you are removing your cylinder head, make sure you have it inspected and leak tested by a good cyl head shop. I had to have mine worked on and it turned out great.
