There are a few videos on youtube that I would suggest you watch them first to gain an understanding on what is involved before you tackle the repair. Make sure it is for the same engine you have in the vehicle, some videos are for the same engine which was used in other model vehicles. It involves jacking up the car in a safe place, having all the correct tools. You will be removing other parts, draining the cooling system, and making sure the timing marks are lined up and while you are replacing the belt, you will be replacing the idler and tensioner pulleys and water pump. Good Luck.
