lol fuck just do it brah!!

make sure the cam gears line up then pull the old belt off...should save you a lot of time when putting the new belt on

besides that, think it should be pretty straight forward as the teeth will fall into place if done correctly, again make sure the cam gear lines up...then tighten the bugger up and done...

remove fan and fan belt and pulley
remove radiator
remove the crank pulley. You can undo the bolt with a 17 or 19mm socket and a big bar. Hold the motor steady with someone holding the brake on with it in 5th gear. Or, turn the ignition key to start...
Remove crank pulley, 2 screwdrivers and skill or a puller.
Remove all plastic covers and large washer on the crank.
Turn the motor over by hand and check the current alignment of the marks.
Undo bolt on the tensioner with a 10mm socket.

should i change any seals ? im also going to replace the water pump, recommended to change whole water pump assembly?

Replace crank seal and cam seals if they are leaking. Replace waterpump if it is leaking (front half normally).
