no point in a step by step guide, its very straightforward if you have a good look at it, BUT see if you can get the crank pulley off first, they can be somewhat troublesome

a pelethra of books are available that will take you step by step on most repairs. These books are availble at most auto parts stores and through the web. That way, if it's in the book you know it's the correct way to do it. How many miles? While the engine is down consider replacing the water pump.
That being said, are you attempting this to save some $$$?
Because unless you've done it before it may actually be cheaper to have a pro do it. The pro can have it done in one day, it may take you at least a week. The pro has all the special tools for those hard to get spots, you may need lots of band-aids. The pro will know if the tensioners need replacing and if springs are out of spec, do you? I only say this because I tried the same thing and I still ended up going to the dealer to get it fixed.
Good luck.
