Sorry no pics for timing belt.
Parts cost me $200 included water pump (Duh!), timing belt, multi rib belt, thermostat.
Basically you need to remove timing belt to take off the water pump.
1. Remove the cover, top and front on the engine
2. then reliese the stiring pupm pully, 3 allian key
3. then remove the multi rib belt by using 17mm socket, put it on the belt tansionerusing wrench turn it clock wise, use force.
4. as you releiesd the tansioner and you holding it you have 2 choises put a nail into tansioner so it wont open or hold it and remove the belt on top of the pully and then you can remove the wrench. Dont through it out, your new belt may not fit!!!
5. use 10mm alien wrench, and in the middle of tansioner unscrew the screw, and it is not on the tansioner's pulley.
6. take it out some where out of the way.
7. remove the two covers of the timming belt. carefull dont brake it, you may screw up the look.
8. put the engine into its TP mark, by turning the engine over, not by key but with wrench.
9.remove the main pully on the bottom, you may need some help with that.
9. there is 8 screws inside the pully, and one big nut. use 6mm alien wrench to unscrew them all, not the nut. Carefully put the wrench all the way in, use extension to twist the screws out, also the help will have to hold the engine so it wont move, by holding the cranshaft in place with wrench.
10. when the all out, here comes hard part, you have to jigle the pully out of its place, dont worry there is only one way to put it in. use force of any kind, and try not to brake the cover.
11. when it is out remove the two bottom covers out, 4 or 3 screws.
12. in the middle you will see a pump pully(top), roller(right), tansioner(left). unscrew a screw on the tansioner, 6mm alien wrench, take it off.
13. rotate the cranshaft a bit forward both of them. so that all of the belt is reliest. remove it.
14. mark a spot on both belts and count if it has the same number of teath.
15. unscrew the water pump by unscrewing 8 or 9 screws, socket 10mm or 8mm. a lot of coolant will go out.
16. unscrew two bolts on thermostat housing, take it out.
17. remove the thermostat, if stuck use screw driver and pop it out.
18. clean the water pump housing, clean it very very good. its better to loose 10 more minutes that do it all over again.
19. I used silicone to hold gasket in, and help it seal better.
20. insert it in and start using bolts, tighten them up, not hard, so that silicone could catch in.
21. insert thermosta, with the ball upwords.
22. put the housing in and tighten it good.
23. tighten the pump bolts, good
24. check all the bolts, to be sure.
25. insert the belt.
26. I hope you didn't forget the marks, and insert the tansioner with screw toghether, may bug you, keep tring.
27. use 8mm alien wrench and 6mm wrench together. insert them into tansioner reliese the 6mm screw, put pressure on 8mm wrench and tighten it up (and I mean up, not down, you will be amased to see how many mechanics put it upside down), someone should be inside the car and turn the engine with key, IMPORTANT Ohhh before you do that remove all spark plug wires before that. just a bit not turning over.
28. check for points, if not good do again, I did it 3 times before I got it perfect.
29. and now just do all the stuff left bacwords.
Note after finishing up, then only fill up the coolant system.
Do not turn the key over if spark plug wires are in!!! or car might Start Up, very very bad!!!
