Remove battery.

Jack up the front passenger side of the car, then support it with jackstands.

Loosen, then remove the drivebelts.

Remove alternator.

Support engine using a floor jack - be sure to put a block of wood between the jack and the oil pan to prevent damage - then remove the passenger side motor mount.

Remove upper timing covers.

Using an impact gun, remove the crankshaft pulley/harmonic balancer. If you do not have an impact gun, you can fit a breaker bar with the appropriate socket onto the crank pulley bolt, and wedge the breaker bar against the floor. Then reconnect the battery long enough to quickly kick the starter motor once or twice (only VERY briefly) to loosen the bolt enough to turn.

Remove the lower timing cover.

Remove old timing belt. Measure against new one to make sure you have the proper part.

Make sure that all the timing marks on the crankshaft sprocket and the camshaft sprocket line up with the appropriate marks on the block/cylinder head.

Install the new timing belt, making sure the crankshaft and camshaft sprocket timing marks still line up once the new belt is on.

Reinstall lower timing cover.

Reinstall crankshaft pulley.

Reinstall upper timing cover.

Reinstall passenger side motor mount.

Reinstall alternator, and drivebelts.

Reinstall passenger side front wheel, lower vehicle.

Reinstall battery.

Start 'er up, and if everything runs well, and no check engine light appears, celebrate a job well done with your favorite beer or liquor.
