4 times....

You may want to consider changing the tensioner, but maybe not? and the water pump.

If you remove the fan you can cock the pulley to remove the belt without loosening the alternator.

The toughest part of the job will be loosening the bolt on the crankshaft pulley. I made a makeshift tool that clamped around the oblong section of the pulley.

Try to line up the timing marks before you remove the timing belt. It will be easier to get things lined up again.

Don't get it off time, you may bend your valves..... My valves got bent after replacing the 4th belt at 208,000 miles. I think the new tensioner tightened the belt and exposed bad bearings in the head which seized under the new pressure...? I had to change the tentioner the 4th time because the old one had lost it's hold and was making a knocking noise as it went in and out....

Watch out you don't poke a hole in the radiator, it is tight down there....

Good luck... I really miss my Rodeo... Sitting in the yard now, mabye I will fix it if I get some time....
