Quantum Timing Belt

["Dahl, Dave" <dad@roadnet.ups.com>]

     While I was pulling the radiator on my Quantum this weekend :(, I took 
     a peek at what kind of labor would be involved to replace my timing 
     belt (soon).  One question leaped out at me:  How in the world do I 
     get at the front of the crankshaft pulley?!?!  I only have an inch of 
     clearance between the sheetmetal below the bumper and the pulley!  Can 
     any of you with 5-cylinder 4000s give some advice?  Am I a victim of 
     VAG wedging a 5-cylinder engine into a 4-cylinder car?
     
     TIA.
