Lots of time and patience... I had to change the timing belt on my 97 sportage last summer. I subscibed to the kiatech.com service for $1o for a week and downloaded and printed EVERYTHING i could think of. It took me the better part of ten hours on a saturday. Watch out for the thermostat housing, it's a pain to get off.. in fact, i contacted 5 mechanics to find out how to get it out, and every one said to "beat on it with a hammer" .. i did, and an hour later, it came out. That was the hardest part, the rest is just time consuming taking apart and putting together. Good luck!
