From: septicman on 21 Mar 2010 09:08 I am replacing the timing belt, idler pulleys and water pump in my 96 Sebring coupe with the 2.0 DOHC engine. Has anyone had firsthand experience doing this job? There does not seem to be any way to remove the engine motor mount which attaches to the block with 3 bolts because there isn't enough room between the timing cover and and fenderwell. I got those 3 bolts completely loosened but can't get them out ! Is there a trick to doing this? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance !

Please post back with the answer when you find out. My son's Stratus is due for a belt soon.
