Timing belt replacement

I was wondering if anyone could help me and tell me how to get to the timing belt cover. I have taken the front wheel off but do not where to go from there. Thanks.

www.vfaq.com is a wonderful thing, all the pics and descriptions you could possibly need.
 

You gotta take off the motor mount (support the engine please), take the belts off, water and power steering pulleys, take off the dampener, then all the little 10mm bolts holding the cover on. Keep track of where the bolts go.

Take off the belts, pulleys, motor mount, wheel shrouding/shields and then the timing cover is free to be removed. Its pretty simple, pretty much everything is going to come off the timing side.

EDIT: A little too slow. Refer to the above posts.

Thank all of you very much. I blew a head gasket and I had the whole top end taken off so I decided to do the timing belt while I was doing everything else.
Again thanks a lot.
