Hi all.

I just wanted to know, from people who do their own work, if it's EXTREMELY, PAINSTAKINGLY difficult to replace the timing belt, water pump, and all associated parts (i.e. gaskets, blah blah) for someone, such as myself, who has not done any extensive repairs/maintenance outside of changing oil and oil/air filter and spark plugs. I'm expecting to receive the Helms manual today and will be using that as my guide and will purchase all the necessary hand tools as outlined in the manual. How many hours does it typically take to complete these repairs and are the instructions given in the Helms manual descriptive and complete enough for a newbie to follow? Is it necessary that 2 people work on it? Or can I do it alone? Any advice and/or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
