timing belt 1990 Frontirer V-6

[Mac]

How hard is it to replace the timing belt on a 1990 Frontier, V-6??
Any special tool, should you do the water pump or other parts while
you are there? Have done my Miata a couple of times with no issues.
Just wanting to get any ideas or suggestions. thanks.

on my mind. it is a 2000. So any one with any help on the initial
question??
