should have instructions at autozone.com

No, AZ site is pure Dumbass. After telling the system EXACTLY what vehicle I need instructions on, it gave me instructions for the 3.3L, 3.5L, and 4.0L V6 engines... none of which apply to my vehicle, a 2.4L inline 4 cyl..
Thanks for trying, tho.

Go to this site for a factory service manual:

scroll down to hardbody
then go to section EM page 10.

I believe these are the instructions your looking for.

Thanks Tempfixit! Good stuff there. Ever done this repair? Any things to watch out for?

Sorry I have not done a timing chain on this engine. Like the manual says make sure the came does not move once old chain is removed. Other than that I can not help you.
