2001 Tacoma timing belt question

The timing belt can be replaced without removing the water pump but I recommend that you change out the water pump while it is sitting there, easily accessible. The link below to 4x4wire is very good. Changing out the timing belt is a fair amount of work, especially removing and retorqueing the crankshaft pulley. I doubt that the water pump will last until the next timing belt change.

thanks for the response and great illustration link
