Rick:
There is a timing belt video on FCPEuro site start to finish. You can search on Youtube or let me know if you can't find it - only thing I saw was he did not discuss torque specs on some of the bolts he put back in. Also, there is another very good video by another guy who does the same engine, but does not cover the steps to get to removing the timing belt cover.
The clearances to remove the engine strut are very tight and when I just replaced my engine strut (gallery photos), I could only get to some of the bolts with combination wrenches, and had to pull the lower belt cover to get at the bottom bolt (shorter than other three) on the engine strut. In the video, the FCPEuro tech manages to get to that bolt from the top, but I could not. He had to pull the belt cover also because he also removed the crankshaft pulley. The engine strut is aluminum, so when replacing it, be careful of torque values or the bolts can strip. I stopped at about 50 ft-lbs plus blue thread locker on the three yoke bolts, but used 77 ft-lbs on the main rt engine mount. WIS says 77 ft-lbs on the three bolts, but I was leery.
Good luck.
