its not that difficult just remember to loosen the pulley bolts before removing the fan belt. The belt helps to keep the pulley from turning making it easier to loosen the pulley bolts
There should be no reason to 'adjust' the timing belt: it is either fitted and working or not fitted..therefore having to replace one? If you do have to replace one, it is not a job for the faint hearted! You will also have to make sure you have a spare car for back-up.. e.g: if you plan to do this job and get driving in short time think again... You need as much room, both visual and physical around the plastic timing cover, you need to ensure the timing cogs are pre marked (with dots) showing what is called TDC (top dead centre) ENSURE THESE DOTS LINE UP PERFECTLY BEFORE REMOVAL AND AFTER RE-FITTING NEW BELT.. apart from that crucial bit.. it's simply a matter of cleanliness and patience.. remember to loosen the belt tensioner prior and re-tighten after fitting new belt.. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN!
if the transmission has a dipstick similar to the engine dipstick you fill it through that tube using a small funnel or the like.....hope this helps.....cheers.
