The car has never had it done. It should have been done a long time ago. I just got the car, just need step by step and torque specs. I have never done this before.

It's not too bad to replace the timing belt, you just need to take your time and follow each step, start by draining the coolant and disconnecting the battery. It is best to replace the timing belt tensioner pulley because they go out often. They have you remove the timing belt pulleys I am not sure why I guess they can wear as well so check that. Here are the steps to replace the timing belt in the images below. Sometimes you will need to refresh the page to open the images. Sometimes this bug happens, we try to fix it. Check out the images (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem.

It doesn't have the size of tools, but the torque setting is in the instructions. Here are exploded views of the seals. Check out the images (below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.
