You should be able to figure it out. The belt has a groved side and a flat side. pullies on the engine that aew groved get the groved side of the belt. Smooth pullies get the smooth side of the delt. Keep in mind there is a smooth polley that does not drive snything. that is the tenser pully, it keeps the belt tight. loop the belt around all th pullirs ftrst then with a wrench push against the tenser pulley spring and push the belt ver it and release.
It should be located under the hood somewhere in plain sight. it should also be in your owners manual. But if you still cant find it, it can be found online somewhere.
There is a diagram sticker under hood that shows you the routing of the belt. As far as removing it the tension pulley will have a bolt in the center of it.Put a wrench on it and turn it counter clockwise it is spring tensioned so be carefull and dont smash you finger. when the belt loosens take it off.
If there is no decal under the hood somewhere, start with the belt around the crankshaft, and then go flats to flats, ribs to ribs. You may have to try a couple of times, but you'll get it.
please go to the following website. i believe you will be able to get an idea about the timing belt for your car.

for the most part there is a diagram under the hood showing you how the belt goes back on you can try www.autozone.com to see if they have your car listed but this is what i do i draw a diagram of the old belt before i take it off and that way i know how the new one goes on.
