The easiest way to change the timing chain is to pull the motor out and remove the serpentine belt and then remove the timing chain cover. After you have done that you will be able to see the timing chain and all the gears and guides. Once you remove the timing chain and are ready to put the new chain on, locate the three colored links. Line these links up with the two cam gears on top and the crank shaft gear on the bottom. There are arrows on the gears to line the colored links up with. If they are not in the correct spot your motor will be out of time and your pistons and valves could collide. Put your timing chain cover back on and put your motor back in.
If you don't want to remove the motor remove your right hand front wheel and remove the splash guard and serpentine built to gain access to the timing chain cover. this will be a tight spot to work in and will take although more work( in my opinion.
