so youre talking about the timing belt im assuming?

if so, youll have to remove a few of the accessories, the drivers side motor mount (while supporting the engine with a lift or jack) and then remove the lower timing belt cover. then you can remove the tensioners and belt(s).

but youll have to be more specific on what youre trying to do.

edit: btw, might be a good idea to start your own thread. although doing some research is a good first step to learning about your car.

pick up a chiltons, haynes or FSM, it will help guide you through disassembly and reassembly.

stock bolts are TTY i believe, probably why it broke. you will have to take off all the accessories on the front of the engine. power steering, alt, water pump pulley, tensioner and harmonic balancer. then you will have to support the engine and remove the motor mount (youre halfway there it looks like) and then you can access the timing belt cover to remove it. IIRC, there are 12, 10mm bolts holding the lower cover on.

at this point, you might as well get some fresh seals/gaskets and a timing belt kit. depending if you can get that bolt out of the block, you might consider getting some arp head studs to go in place of another set of TTY bolts.
