Default Check out timing belt tech article, but no need to pull bumper or...

put lock carrier in service position. It's a little tight but doable.

If you don't get the special tool(chopsticks) to hold pulley while you unscrew the fan, you can remove the serpentine belt with a 17mm socket and stick an allen wrench into the holes to keep the tension off the belt. Hold the fan pulley with a strap wrench. Nut is reverse threaded.

Once off, your remove the fan from the clutch and put the fan on the new clutch.
