Toyota Repair: Changing timing belt/water pump on 92 paseo, crank pulley, pulley bolt


Question
Hi was having some difficulties replacing the waterpump on a 92 paseo. It appears the motor mount must be removed to get to one of the bolts on the water pump. To remove this bracket you need to I believe remove the crank pulley and expose the bottom portion of the timing belt shroud/cover to get to the bolts. I also thought I might as well change the timing belt. I am running into a loss how I will be able to do this. Can you please help? If possible instructions on removing the timing belt, the cover, motor mount bracket, and crank pulley bolt. Basically as much info as possible. Surprisingly I"m not finding any manuals such as chilton or hanes they don't seem to make one for a paseo. thnx a million.......Krystal

Answer
The motor mount(insulator) needs to be removed but not the metal bracket that is attached to the engine block, yes you may as well replace the timing belt,the biggest obstacle you will encounter is removing the crank pulley bolt, they can be very tight and may require a large breaker bar and a chain wrench to hold the pulley, unless you have the rquired tools I would recommend that you let a repair shop do this.
