Hehehehe....takes about 6-8 hours with hand tools. You'll need a floor jack
to lift/lower the engine to take off the front engine mount. You'll also
need to evac the A/C (allows the lines to be removed for easy access to the
upper strut mount (upper engine mount is attached to this).

I've done about 20 of them in the last 6 months...it's not easy work that's
for sure. I'm down to about 4 hours on them, but that's with experience and
a lot of bruised knuckles.

I've emailed you my cellphone number if you need help.

I have to do a timing belt on my gf's 2001 PT Cruiser with 2.4L non turbo
engine. Anyone done one of these themselves? Got any pointers or tips for
me?
