Hi, 96 Caravan with 99k miles has a water leak from timing belt cover. Aside from replacing timing belt is there anything else that should be replaced with the water pump? I have done timing belts on Subarus and Hondas but this would be first Dodge. Are there any pitfalls or tricks to job? The Haynes manual suggests a strap wrench is needed to hold the camshaft sprockets for removal-would breaking the bolts loose while the timing belt is still on work? AutoZone's guide states to remove the power steering pump while Haynes does not even mention it-which is correct? Haynes does not describe removing the tensioner but Autozone does-which is correct?
Thanks.
