Huck, You're 100% in the right direction, I've been through the same situation. Shadow, If this is a job that you plan to do yourself, look for it to be a good few hours work. It's really not a hard job , just a little time consuming in some areas. Also take caution loosening the bolts in the timing belt covers, The covers are very brittle. I know Good Luck!
