This is not an easy job. If you are asking how, then you need to get a friend who has done it before. Some timing belts are easy. This one is more difficult and you'll need a couple good tools not typically found in the backyard mechanic's box. But if you persist in jumping in, first pull the radiator for some good access. Oh, if you are replacing it because it broke AND it is a 2.5 engine, your valves are toast, so a belt won't help. Other engines do NOT interfere. This one does. Sorry.
