How to install a timing belt in a '94 Dodge Caravan?

Hi, I need to replace a timing belt in a 1994 Dodge caravan and was advised that the water pump should be replaced as well.I have been told that is a complicated thing to do by some and that it is not to difficult by others. I am not familiar with the procedure and I was hoping that you could explain it to me. Thank you for your help....Dave

You need to get a manual on the van and see where the timing marks are set at and it will help you to see whats all involved
Be carefull because if timing belt or chain is installed wrong the intake and exhaust vavles can be bent when tryin to crank
If you do the repair be sure to turn the engine over manually to make sure there is no binding .....timing off and cylinders hitting the vavles
