This video shows how to remove the timing belt from a Jeep Grand Cherokee. Lift the front bonnet of the car; remove the plastic engine cover and bumper (if necessary, remove the radiator with the fans by taking out the plastic rivets).

Use a spanner to loosen the tensioner pulley and slide the belt off. Use a socket to unscrew the tensioner pulley bolt, then remove the water pump. Fit the new water pump, the tensioner, and the belt, tightening everything with the socket.
