Oil Pan Gasket, CV Joint Boots and Timing Belt

**CelicaGTSboy23** · 05-03-2008, 07:11 AM

Hey there everyone,

I need your input on this. I have to do some mechanical work to my car. I need to replace my oil pan gasket, CV Joint boots and timing belt.

Is it easy to do the oil pan gasket myself?? I looked in the Haynes Manual that I have and it shows exactly what I need to do. Can I attempt it?? The CV Joint boots need to be replaced and there is a major problem.... NO ONE CARRIES THE RIGHT BOOTS FOR MY CAR!!!! The only ones people carry right now are the 2-piece and Universals. Can I use boots from an automatic celica same motor?? The other is my timing belt. Is it easy to replace or a pain in the but?? Let me know what I would be able to do and not able to do. Thanks everyone. I need this help.

Toyota will have the boots. Inner boot is Toyota only. Outer boot is universal.
Timing belt is a pain. Engine mount need to come out.
