This reminds me that I need to check the belt on my car since it has 140k on it. If I need to replace the belt, it's not going to fun b/c I will probably have to remove the pass front tire to have room to do it. The car I have is 2010 corolla.

You might be surprised. I've had one that required the wheel and a motor mount to be removed to be able to replace the belt and it really wasn't that bad. Probably an hour job on that car. A Toyota shouldn't be any worse. 140k is on borrowed time, IMO. Same with your timing belt if it uses one and it's original. May as well do both (and probably a water pump too) at the same time. If you've never done that job before, it only sounds scary... I cover that job in TBL 1, 2, and 3 on my Escort. The principals are the same for every similar car.
