      Timing belt change on 2006 Aveo LS: My new detailed write-up

      Hi everyone,

      I took some pictures and did the write-up while changing my timing belt and water pump a few weeks ago. I have about 1,000 miles since and everything's running fine, so here it is:

      It's way too big to post here, so please download it or rehost or print or something. There's some stuff in there that wasn't in other write-ups I looked at, such as setting the belt tension correctly.

      Let me know if you can think of other stuff to add in, hopefully it will help those who've never done a timing belt change before,

      ZC
