Default Time to replace Timing Belt

Okay I need to know what all I need to replace the timing belt. I know that I need a timing belt and water pump but is there any other supplies needed? I have almost 150,000 miles on my 2001 SE. It is automatic (not sure that it really matters). I know that it is supposed to get replaced at 105,000 miles so it is starting to scare me a little...

Is this a good timing belt?

And what about this water pump?

timing belt, water pump, when you got the engine dropped on down to where you can take it apart check your timing belt tensioner and the idler pulley that the timing belt runs on... for some reason the frame that my tensioner ran on broke in half but other than that i dont think you need anything, and the links you sent look fine... just make sure you set the time right again haha or you stuck in the problem like me.

i think i was lucky, i think my belt is just stretched a tad bit... not enough to bend valves and bust pistons, but enough to make it run like ****. but yeah, just make sure you get the timing dead on cause just like N3ON said... you can blow your cylinders if your off.
