I assume you have the 3.2L 6 cyl engine. You will have to remove the front pulley on engine that drives all belts-the bolt takes a 15/16" socket-it will be very tough to remove if it's the first time. I used a "chain type" strap wrench tool-similiar to n oil filter strap wrench-to hold the pulley from turning while breaking 15/16" bolt loose with a breaker bar type wrench-1/2" drive. The bolt removes turning it counter-clockwise as you are facing engine from front of car.I recommend coating pulley to engine shaft area with anti-seize compound when you re-install it. It's very important you do NOT turn engine crankshaft when removing pulley. Then you remove front covers-3 pieces-one to each cyl bank and one right behind the pulley you have removed. With covers off-put pulley back on engine shaft (leave bolt out)then carefully turn engine shaft CLOCKWISE ONLY until marks on belt line up at1:dot on crankshaft pulley,2:marks on belt line up with dots on each camshaft-HAYNES repair book has a good diagram of timing belt mark alignment-I recommend getting this book if only for this.Remove belt tensioner-then belt-then waterpump. I recommend replacing the oil seal that's behind the engine pulley that drives timing belt.
