not to be a jerk, but if you plan on working on it alot, just buy a haynes manual. they arent that expensive, and give decent info.

also did you do a search before you asked your question?

Pull off cover, and I'm sure you can figure it out from there.....make sure to realign the timming marks on the gears when finished.

sad thing is, its almost that easy. the only thing that sucks is the motor mount, and getting the crank pulley off

The bitch is not easy trust me.

It's only easy if you have the motor out.LOL

But just take your time and you can do it, it will be an all day job.

Steps:
1. take the altonator off with the braket(more room)
2. take a jack and a block of wood and place that wood inbetween the oil pan and the jack.
3. Take the tention off of the motor mount.
4. Get under the car and with a 14mm. deep socket, losten the nuts on the bottom of the motor mount.
5. Losen the 17mm. main motor mount bolt(chassi braket)
6. Take the motor mount out.
7. Take 14mm. socket and take all 3 bolts that hold the motor mount braket to the block out.
8. Take the braket out.
9. Get that last bolt that you couldn't reach with the mount in.
10. You should be able to handle it from here.

Good luck and happy working.
