Remove generator, fan belt, timing gear cover, timing gear. Than reverse process, and your done. Couple of hours work.
After further inspection I could see the crank gear had some pitting in one area. That pitted area coincided with the worn area on the timing gear. I assume someone replaced the timing gear at some point and did not replace the crank gear explaining the premature failure of the timing gear. So I plan to replace both.
