Default DIY timing belt for 92-96?

Using timing belt in my search attempts results in tons of hits, but no DIY threads or links. i also went to the stickies and tech help thread, and couldn't find a DIY timing belt replacement link. Something with pics would be even sweeter.

mine is a 1993 ES300. i assume 92-96 are the same. I have awful noise in timing belt area, maybe WP bearing, maybe pulley/tensioner ...etc...

so anyone have or know of a good link for this?

thnx!!

There is a good video on this subject for your car on You tube. Do a search and you will find it. At least it will give you a good idea as to what's involved and how its done.

I wimped out and took it to mechanic, ONLY because I also needed cam seals & crank seal done, and didn't want to screw that part up. The rest of the job for belt, pump & bearings looks very DIY-able.
