The knowlegebase writeup is great since it details the front core support removal that the service manual doesn't, and I wouldn't even try without removing that. Some kind of crank holder is a must, and while people have done it without the cam lockers, I'd also call them a must. The plate behind the cam sprockets should also get removed and either resealed with sealant, or new seals as that get's overlooked(dealer didn't do that on Lago car on it's first belt change and leaked afterwards). I'd also do the oil pump bearing/Viscous fan bearing(part # 077115136A)....Manual say's do if noisy, but have had one get noisy shortly after belt change and kicked myself for not doing it....I've done 3 now, with the last one being last summer and have taken a bunch of pics, so if you've got any other questions when doing it, can probably answer them. Good luck, Tom

Of course the blow-up images don't work! I think I'll be able to figure it out. I replaced timing belts on 2 1.8Ts by myself and 1 2.7T with help.

Thanks all of you for your help. Any additional pics would be useful!
