Getting the Wheeling Fever

I'm not familar with the 2.6L but agree that it does not make sense why you would have to line up the water pump.

I've done the timing belt on a 1998 and it is self adjusting. The tension pulley has a tensioner that you should replace. The new one has a pin it the shaft and once it's installed you pull the pin and it provides the correct tension. You should see a small hole in the steel shaft on the existing tensioner where the original pin was located prior to being pulled out.
