Firstly having the right specialized tools for the job makes it a whole lot easier, however, it is not essential if you take precautions. I do not recommend the job if you are not reasonably mechanical but of course if you were you wouldn't be asking!
Once every thing is removed and the timing assembly is exposed, before removing anything else, if reusing chains and only replacing guides MARK THE CHAIN ON THE TIMING MARKS.
if you have the correct tools fit them to the camshaft bolts before removing tensioners, if not, you will need a second person to assist in holding the camshafts in place with a spanner so the cam doesn't spin and let valves make contact with cylinder heads. once tensioner is removed that guide pulls off, then remove the two bolts holding the other guide and remove.
Reverse this sequence to replace. If replacing chains as well a new chain will have links marked for position over timing marks on sprockets. If for some reason you need to refit an old chain just lay it out stretched together and mark the two folded end links, this gives you your positions over timing marks.
Be sure to replace gaskets as these motors are temperamental to second time use.

Does a 2000 Ford Mustang 3.8 V6 have a timing belt or timing chain?
The vehicle has a timing chain that keeps the camshaft spinning correctly relative to the crankshaft. It also has a serpentine belt (what used to be known as fan belts) that operates the AC compressor, alternator, air pump, and water pump. Some people still call serpentine belts a timing belt even though it has no effect on engine timing. Many 4 cylinder engines use a timing belt in place of a chain. I think this is where the confusion starts.

Timing chain 2000 Toyota?
I just replaced the timing chain for my 2000 Camry. I did the same thing for my last Camry, a 1996. The timing chain goes after the water pump bearings fail and jams everything up. Then I had to replace the timing belt, water pump, and all belts.
