do i need to take out the engine?

[dsm4444]

Im looking to replace my timing belt on my 95 eagle talon non-turbo and i was wondering if I would need to take out my engine to replace it. It doesnt appear theres any other way. Space is severly limited.. Please help...

Yes, unless you have midget hands.

yes, but you are also able to do it in the car. but it is a little bit more complicated, you will need to remove some of the motor mounts (passenger side for sure and maybe the other two motor mounts leaving the tranny mount only) you will have to leave everything supported by a jack to go up and down to remove the T-belt components. by removing the plastic cover behind the wheel will give you more room to play with....

I did it in that way at least twice, but make sure to have the right TOOLS for the job. trust me on that one.
