you have to get a haynes or chilton manual to do it. even shops use one for this process. they are only $20 but then you can do anything to you car. it will tell you to get an engine hoist but you can use a jack under the transmission pan. just get a piece of plywood or something to disperse the weight or you will crack the pan! if the chain is already broken or it has skipped more than 3 teeth on the gears than there is a good chance you have damaged the pistons or valves. your motor is and interference motor.... one of the worst inventions ever! i just went to do my timing chain and ended up having to change the whole motor! after you fallow the steps and get the chain off. then take the dust cover off on the flywheel and see if you can turn the crank through a whole cycle without it jamming up. just make sure to go counterclockwise! the manual will tell you all this. just cross your fingers and hope for the best. but honestly the outcome is usually not very good! best of luck!
