I want to replace the water pump, timing belt and tensioner on my sambar. Would it be easier to pull the engine and bolt it to a stand or perform the aforementioned tasks with the engine installed. If if makes any difference, I will be doing the maintenance on a lift.
All of those parts can be replaced from the wheel well. Just take the rear drivers side wheel off, and the plastic shield behind it, and you will have all of the access needed for that job.
