How to change the timing belt on a V6?
Remove the alternator belt first and then remove the power steering belt. Once they have been removed you will also need to remove the power steering adjuster pulley. This can be accomplished by completely removing the 14mm nut and bolt that hold it in place. The next step is to remove the crank pulley.
Can a timing belt be replaced on a jack stand?
When performing a timing belt job, it is recommended to replace not only the belt, but also the hydraulic tensioner, the water pump, and both the idler pulley and the tensioner pulley. This job is performed the easiest on a lift but if you don’t have the luxury of a lift, jack stands will suffice.
Where are the timing lugs located on a V6?
If you no longer have your handy little tool, the lugs are 21mm. Once you’ve cracked the lugs loose, jack your car up from the cross member that runs from the radiator core support to the sub frame. On the 3G it is located slightly to the driver side of the vehicle.

Which is the cheapest place to service a Mitsubishi Verada?
I recently had my Verada serviced at 110,000km so it was a bit overdue for its MOST expensive service for the platinum plugs and timing belt. I had it quoted by Bridgestone, Kmart and Mitsubishi. Bridgestone were the cheapest as I had purchased a discount card which included a free major service, wheel alignment, rotate & balance etc.
