Glad I could help. Part of why I did that page was that this page:

While slightly helpful, has a very serious mistake. They skipped over the part about removing the motor mount. A minor oversight that makes it totally impossible to remove the timing belt!

They also did not mention that you do not have to use the special (and expensive) adjusting tool if you do actually remove the motor mount! Water pump pliers work fine once the motor mount is removed.
