I've already checked search and it doesn't have crap. So my next question is...does anyone have a good how to on this?

I do all the work on my car but it's been a while since I've replaced a timing belt. I'm assuming it's going to be quite time consuming, so any type of write up would help.

Thanks everyone.

I'd like to know a when to on both. I'm on 52,000 miles right now. When should I go for the replacement on them?

Or every 100k miles. Your owners manual should have this info. I think it's actually every 105k miles, but not sure off the top of my head.
