Open the hood, look down the front of the engine. Everything has to come off the front of the engine.
remove the oil filter, remove the front cover from the transmission, remove the oil pan (or loosen the pan bolts and lower the pan)
special tools:
puller for timing gears
puller for harmonic balancer

Bank on about 3 full days to do this if you have never done it before. If you have done it even once before it only takes 4 hours

If you do it yourself you may save many $, but do the research first.

Beware! other things may need to be replaced ie: water pump, oil pump, cam, lifters, etc........
