How big of a pain is it to change the timing belt on a 1998 mitsubishi mirage havent done a front wheel drive?

Not bad if you know what you are doing, but reserve a whole day for it. Make sure you replace any idlers because if one of those fails the timing belt is gone. Also, don't even do the job unless you are going to replace the balance shaft belt and tensioner bearing because that is what is more likely to give trouble than the timing belt would.How big of a pain is it to change the timing belt on a 1998 mitsubishi mirage havent done a front wheel drive?

about 8-10 hours labor fort rained mechanic.
5 hours if you're a mechanically inclined person with the right tools. not much of a pain to do a timing belt itself. the big pain is when you have to take apart nuts and bolts Etc...and put everything back in the right place. It's easier to take things apart than to put them back correctly. make sure you replace the water pump too while you're at it. Took me 4 hours tore place timing belt on my 03 OZ.
