Open hood, remove negative terminal from battery. Loosen driver side lug nuts. Jack up the car. Take off driver side wheel. Take off belts off crankshaft pulley(A/C, Powersteering, Alternator). Use impact on crankshaft pulley bolt (120 psi, 19mm). Take off crankshaft pulley WITH WOODRUFF KEY. Find support for engine. Take off driver side mount. Take off timing belt covers (3). Loosen your tensioner bolt, take off the belt, burn it. Put new belt on crankshaft gear, tensioner and water pump first. Put bottom cover back on. Put on crankshaft pulley WITH WOODRUFF KEY and set to Bottom Dead Center (white etched groove on pulley, marking on bottom cover). Set exhaust and intake camshaft gears to Top Dead Center (UP arrow perpendicular to valve cover). Slide timing belt on exhaust camshaft gear then intake camshaft gear. Tighten/loosen the tensioner bolt for tension. Rotate crankshaft a couple times for trial and error on timing. Repeat as needed til for certain, all timing marks align in their proper places.

Or, you could just treat your mechanic friend out to lunch and have him do it for you.
