is it possible to change a timing chain without removing the engine from the vehicle? I have a Grand Caravan (1995)

Should have a timing belt, not a chain. What size engine? 2.2L, 3.0L etc.

No problem. Won't have to remove engine but will have to loosen the engine mounts and support engine with a suitable support (i.E. Large floor jack). Would you like complete removal and installation steps for the timing belt?

I apologize, just realized this is a Grand caravan not a regular Caravan. It DOES have a timing chain. . Sorry to ask for more info. But to get steps correct I will need the 8th digit of the VIN, should be a "J", "R" or an "L".
