89 Lebaron Timing Belt... HELP!

I bought an 89 lebaron convertible (2.5 turbo engine) on sat. Sun.
night the car would not start... called the guy who I bought it from, who
happened to be a mechanic, he looked at it and said the timing belt was
broken. Now common knowledge is that the most labor intensive part of the
job is getting to the part itself to reinstall the new one. I read
somewhere that on my particular car, replacing the timing belt is done
easily in about a few minutes. Is this true? I know nothing about cars,
and have never really done any major repairs, except for an alternator on
my old honda. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!!

 

No, not exactly, though for those who have done it several times before,
it can be gotten down to about 45 minutes or so.

This is not the job to learn about cars on.

 

Had an old Vauxhaul HC 2300 - dropped the belt heading south from Cape
Breton. The dealer in Sydney had one in stock, and it took better than
half an hour to have it delivered to me by "taxi" - and 10 minutes
later I was back on the road. Some engines are real simple. Then there
was the 88 3.0 New Yorker - seams like half the engine had to come
apart on that one. Some engines are NOT so simple.
