Do I have to remove the strut bar to get to those screws?  It seems like a
pretty tight fit.

I don't have any documentation, but the timing belt looks pretty good.  I
don't see any cracks at all and the teeth seem to be in good shape (unlike
the serpentine belt I just removed, which is missing almost all of its
ribs.  >< )
