All I can say for anyone wanting to save money and wants to have a go - my advice is don't do it!!!! pay someone to do it - it truely is a right royal PITA...
I thought doing the evo was going to be difficult but if given the choice between the evo and the 4G69 bring your evo around here and i will gladly do the belt change...
Admittedly I am removing the head and installing a newly ported head but seriously this is a job, once you have removed all of the relevant pullies you then have to try and get 4 different pullies to all line up to TDC - no big deal if the whole engine is out of the car which I am starting to think may not of been a bad idea...
removing the engine mount is a big tip having some air tools another big tip tiny hands another good idea seeing as you are working inbetween the chassis and the engine.. and you need a really good torch to try and see markings on pullies that are not there.
pay someone else to do this job and thank your mechanic after the job is done
