My car overheated, I filled it with coolant and the drove 2 hours later and it ran fine.

Then my timing belt went, when it did go, I was driving, when I got the car home I took off the cover of the timing belt, I noticed anti-freeze leeking out near the water pump.

Am I doing the right thing by replacing these 2?

I am also a little hung up on the crank shaft pulley, can I get some directions to how I am supposed to take it off?

Hi there,

Yes you are on the right track, with the pulley bolt is is a R/H thread, you can remove the starter and lock the fly wheel with a lever and undo the bolt,
your main concern is that you may have bent a few valves, so when the belt is replaced do a quick compression test just to make sure.
