How hard is it to replace the timing belt on a 1996 Millenia S?

I have 103,300 miles on it and never changed it back when I should have.

What would a shop charge..roughly?

Thanks

I have a 95 millenia S and here in houston it roughly $500 or more.
they also recommend you also go ahead and change the water pump since the job its self can run you $500 or more and it adds about $200 give or take.
Also the other thing that is easy access with the timing belt job in the millenia S is the cam seals.this is about another 100-150$.
Im taking mine in for this job and total is about $950 ish.
I highly recommend you do all these at once because when the cam shaft seals go like on mine it gets to be a mess and the oil leaks on the timing belt itself from what i understood not to mention its cheaper and better peace of mind .According to Mazda the interval on the millenia S is every 60,000.I would get it done A.S.A.P because if it breaks it will bend valves and get really expensive.
Hope i could be of help.

Oh and as far as how hard it is.I was told that the the whole routing for both intercoolers and all accessory pullys except for the a/c comp. had to come off.est job time in the book about 7-8 hours.
