I've got about 85K miles on my 02 Mazda Protege 5. I can tell the engine is definitely running noticably ruffer and I'm assuming it's the timing belt.

Anyone have any idea how difficult a job this might be to do at home. I've done a fair bit of work on cars, but never a timing belt on Japanese motor.
