Default Timing Belt Replacement Instructions

I'm approaching 100,000 miles on my 2001 Cruiser and want to replace the timing belt (just to be on the safe side). I've replaced the timing belt myself on every car I've owned over the last 30 years. However, I've read on several forums that this can be tricky on the Cruiser, due to space constraints. Does anybody have a copy of the replacement prodcedure that they could send me (email, fax, snail mail, etc)?

Thanks in advance! [^]

PTFever,

I'm sitting here reading the Haynes manual on replacing the timing belt for the 2.4L models. There are two pages of instructions and 11 illustrations and a few cautions...and that's for the removal. The installation is another page and a couple more illustrations. Now SCI-Fi would kill me for suggesting this, but if you really want to do-it-yourself, Get ahold of the Haynes manual Number 25035 for about $20 or the service manual from the dealer for a lot more. Did you try www.ptdoityourself.net ? They might have instructions and photos for the timing belt. [:I]

You know,
There are many CD-R copies of the OEM manual on E-bay for less than the cost of the Haynes manual.
They are the real Chrysler information.

I suggest buying a real one from Mopar, but some feel that $80 for a manual for a $20,000 car is too high.

You can get them here:
