You mark the timing belt at the location of the timming mark with a little spray paint on a q-tip so you know where to alight the new cam gears. But becareful, if you mess it up you can kill your engine.

You also may need a tensioner tool to loosen the timing belt to remove the gears.

The most important issue is to make sure all of your marks are on.
