Bart, the only two issues I came across using your instructions.
One was the location of the short bolts on the water pump. I know in your instructions you said to pay attention to where the short bolts where, but since you had a pretty picture already there, I didn't pay attention. There where one or two more short bolts than you had labeled in your picture so it took me a while to figure out where the other went. No biggie.
The second thing that you forgot to mention was to put the plug back into the bottom of the radiator. Since I tend to be mechanically inept I followed your instructions by the letter and once I got everything back together I started putting fluid back in the radiator and heard it pouring all over the floor. I paniced for a second (thinking something was terribly wrong) until my brain locked in and remember that I hadn't put the plug back in the radiator. Again, no biggie, just me being blond.
As for the instructions on lining up all the marks on the pulleys, belt, and engine; everything worked out great. Followed your instructions to the letter and it all worked out. Went through many miles, and Moab, since the timing belt swap and haven't had an issue yet.
I think everyone is saying the same thing...in a different way.
"The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong, it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair."
