You don't need a walk-through on changing a timing belt. Here's what you need to do:

- Support engine and remove front engine mount (the one on the FRONT of the engine)
- Remove accessory belts.
- Remove crank pulley.
- Remove timing covers
- Reinstall crank pulley bolt and rotate crank until the timing marks on the crank gear and cam gear line up (this is Top Dead Center, Cyl #1)
- Mark the old belt at these marks (optional, but I always do it wit white-out on any car I do a t-belt on)
- Remove tensioner or lock tensioner in full-loose position if you're not replacing it.
- Match up the marks you made on the new belt.
- Install new belt counter clockwise, starting with the crank, making sure your marks line up.
- Release tensioner and rotate crank 2 full revolutions. Re-check timing marks on the cam/crank gears to make sure they're still lined up.

Done.
