Oil filter hosuing qeustions

[talon187]

ok i did search first i couldnt find a total answer i plan on puting an oil fiter hosuing that faces forward. right now my current one leaks a little. my main question is to change the housing do i have to take the timing belt off ? i know i need to take the cover off but i wanst sure on the belt. is there any thing i should worry about when going with the forward facing housing? thanks guys

I installed mine without having to take the timing cover all the way off. Really wasn't that bad.

i could care less if i take the cover off or not im worried about the timing belt. so the timing belt doesnt need to come off then ?
