timing belt help
So ive been trying to replace my timing belt and I have the service manual but it isn't really helping. I'm having a really difficult time taking off the bottom cover. If somebody could please help me with detailed instructions on how to replace it, it would be greatly appreciated. I've looked through the forums and can't find detailed instructions from somebody who has done it.

Yes I took the pully off and there is a bolt behind the power steering pully that I got unscrewed but I can't get it out without taking that pully off. Should I take the pully off?

yes you need to remove the passenger side engine mount to install the timing belt...I used a jack and piece of wood under the oil pan, and disconnected the front and rear mounts as well, so I could drop the engine below the chassis a bit to make the pulleys and stuff a bit more accessible.

pretty sure the power steering pulley is pressed on...I don't think you can take it off...

Which one is the water? Is it the bigger one to the left of the engine mount or is it the smaller one closer to the front of the vehicle? Cus I took off my crankshaft pulley off, but that's the only one I've taken off.

you need take off the water pump pulley... it should be slightly left of the engine mount, above the crankshaft and it's the big smooth one (without belt ribs)...power steering is to the far left, is ribbed, and the pump should be mounted to a bracket beyond the timing cover...
