Yep, the engines gotta come apart if you want to put a new belt on. If you decide you want to tackle it, there is a whole thread about replacing the crankshaft that you may want to look at, as it covers the valve timing, and timing belt. I think it's in the 4 cycle section. Post any specific questions there and we will all help as best as we can...
Out of all the engines to work on this has to be one of the best. Very simple tear down,replacement of belt,time and put back together. I could work on these engines all the time......
