Hello and good day to you:
First you don't have a Timing Chain, or Cam Chain...you have a Timing Belt.
Second I would strongly suggest that you go to AutoZone, or Advance Auto, and Pick up a Haynes Repair Manual for this Car. Buy a New Timing Belt for the Twin Cam Configuration.
It's only easy if you have the motor out.LOL
But just take your time and you can do it, it will be an all day job.
Steps:
1. take the alternator off with the bracket(more room)
2. take a jack and a block of wood and place that wood in between the oil pan and the jack.
3. Take the tension off of the motor mount.
4. Get under the car and with a 14mm. deep socket, losen the nuts on the bottom of the motor mount.
5. Loosen the 17mm. main motor mount bolt(chassis bracket)
6. Take the motor mount out.
7. Take 14mm. socket and take all 3 bolts that hold the motor mount bracket to the block out.
8. Take the bracket out.
9. Get that last bolt that you couldn't reach with the mount in.
10. You should be able to handle it from here.
Good luck and happy working
