order of removal for accesories when pulling the head and doing timing belt?

[Spoolin4Ever]

I need to check my timing belt and probably pull the head. I want to know which order to remove the alternator, power steering, etc?

The order to remove the belts?

If you're going to be taking the timing belt cover off, break the bolts on the crank pulley and water pump pulley (4 bolts each) loose. Then you won't have to hold the pulleys.

As for the belts, they all have to come off, so loosen them all up, then pull them off. I usually just loosen them all then first, then pull the crank pulley off so I don't have to fight the belts past it at all.

Great, thanks.

Does pulling the engine mount off first make it much faster on the accesories?

I still need to get jack stands and/or a rail road tie or other block of wood to put under the car when I take the wheel off, and for under the engine.

I like the idea of blocks of wood cause you don't have to raise it up that high. No where to get any?

Theres really no specific order for removal. However when putting everything back together sure I guess you can say there is an order. Just start from the outside and work your way in.. Take pictures if you need to, to help you with remembering where everything goes. You wont need to remove the engine mount unless your changing your timing belt. Or, you can take the bolt securing it to the body and just raise that side of the engine up slightly for a little more room.
