Okay. The job is not too hard if you have some experience. The instructions are below. Just be sure to have the alignment marks set up before taking the belt off and installing the new belt. Let me know if you need more help.
REMOVAL STEPS
Preparation: Battery ground cable
Radiator upper fan shroud
Remove from radiator.
Cooling fan assembly
Remove four nuts, then the cooling fan assembly.
Power steering pump drive belt.
Air Conditioning compressor drive belt
Generator drive belt
Power stering pump drive belt
Fan pulley assembly
Crankshaft pulley assembly
Crankshaft pulley assembly
Using special tool J-8614-O1 , hold crankshaft pulley.
Remove center bolt, then the pulley.
Oil cooler hose
Remove two cooler hose bracket fixing bolts on the timing cover.
Timing belt cover
Pusher CAUTION:
The pusher prevents air from entering the oil chamber. Its rod must always be facing upward.
INSTALLATION STEPS
To install, follow the removal steps in the reverse order.
Timing belt CAUTIONS:
Do not bend or twist the belt, otherwise its core could be damaged. The belt should not be bent at a radius less than 3Omm.
Do not allow oil or other chemical substances to come in contact with the belt. They will shorten the belt life.
Do not attempt to pry or stretch the belt with a screwdriver or any other tool during installation.
Store timing belt in a cool and dark place. Never expose the belt to direct sunlight or heat.
Align groove of crankshaft timing pulley with mark on oil pump.
2) Align the marks on the camshaft timing pulleys with the corresponding dots on the front plate.
NOTE:
When timing marks are aligned, no pistons will be on T. D.C.
3) Install timing belt. Align the dotted alignment mark on the timing belt with the mark on the crankshaft gear.

NOTE:
For correct belt installation, the letters the belt must be able to be read as viewed from the front of the vehicle. It is recommended for easy installation that the belt be secured with double clips after it is installed to each pulley.
4) Align the alignment mark (white line) on the timing belt with the alignment mark on the RH bank camshaft timing pulley (on the left side as viewed from the front of the vehicle Secure the belt with a double clip.

5) Turn the crankshaft counterclockwise to remove the belt slack between the crankshaft timing pulley and the RH bank camshaft timing pulley.
6) Install the belt on the water pump pulley.
7) Install the belt on the idler pulley.
Align the alignment mark (white line) on the timing belt with the alignment mark on the LH bank camshaft timing pulley. If the belt is difficult to install turn the camshaft pulley slightly counterclockwise.
9) Install crankshaft pulley temporarily and tighten center bolt by hand (do not use a wrench). Turn the crankshaft pulley clockwise to give some slack between the crankshaft timing pulley and the RH bank camshaft timing pulley.
10) Install the pusher while pushing the tension pulley to the belt.
11) Pull out the pin from the pusher.
When reusing the pusher, press the pusher to retract the rod and insert a pin (1.4 mm piano wire) .
2) Remove double clips from pulleys. Turn the crankshaft pulley clockwise by two turns. Measure the rod protrusion to ensure it is within the standard.
Standard 4-6 mm (0.16-0.24 in)
13) If out of standard, remove pusher, loosen adjusting bolt, and readjust. (Repeat from step 11). Tighten adjusting bolt to the specified torque.
