Greetings,
It's time to change the timing belt. I have read the instruction on Bay 13 and believe that I can do the job. My question is about the rollers and hydraulic tension mechanism. The car has just over 225,000 miles. Should I change any of the rollers and the hydraulic tension device? I don't know if they have ever been changes, but I know the timing betl has been changed on schedule. How do I check to tell if they need changing, or should I just plan to change everything due to the high mileage? I also might change the water pump since I will already be in the area (I assume that the water pump is changeable while the timing belt is out)

Thanks,
Stuart
