First, remove the drive belt and the drive belt tensioner. Unscrew the three nuts and three bolts to remove the outer engine's front cover. Remove the RH splash shield, the bolt, and the crankshaft pulley. Align the timing marks and then remove the old timing belt. Install the new timing belt and then repeat the steps in reverse.
