the pulley on the crank shaft? it has a key on it so you can't mess that up at all. if you have good car skills its pretty easy to do. make sure you get the belt to the proper tension though. too loos and you could skip teeth and too tight and it will whine and stretch.

hey went and got my self a chiltons mag and its like the best thing that a man could do to him self
is the whole thing about how many teeth are on the belt right? is there any other way to tell if i got the timing right?

the only way IMHO to be sure the timing is correct is to make sure all the timing marks line up as described in the FSM.
But be careful, a couple teeth off and you're talkin' crash bend cha-ching!

Ummmm, step #1 is to line up all the markks and have the engine at TDC before you ever take the old belt off. then it's easy to make sure you get it back on correctly. you don't have to worry about having one cam one rotation out or something.
