Welcome!
Are you gonna do the timing belt yourself or give it to a shop? There should be DIY instructions around here somewhere, but it's a big job. Probably not for a beginner.

Often the biggest trouble is getting the crankshaft pulley off. The center bolt is right-hand (normal) thread. Really. It just takes about 75 million lb*ft torque to loosen it.

Look & understand the timing marks before you take off the old belt. I've seen lots of questions about how the marks are supposed to look when they line up. That means they removed the belt before checking to see how the marks work.
