your best bet would be to go to an auto parts store and buy a haynes manual for your own car.they are about 20-25 dollars. this book will tell you how its done. they are based on a complete teardown of vehicle. good-day !
Timing belt “B” (balancer belt) and related components—2004–2005 Galant and 2004–2005 Lancer 2.4L engine
Disconnect the negative battery cable. Remove the engine under cover.
Remove the crankshaft damper pulley.
Disconnect the control wiring harness connector, battery wiring harness connector and connector bracket to engine mounting insulator.
Remove the harness bracket. Remove the upper timing belt cover. Remove the water pump pulley. Remove the idler pulley.
Remove the auto tensioner. Remove the lower timing belt cover.
Turn the crankshaft clockwise and align each timing mark to set the number one piston to TDC of its compression stroke.
Remove the timing belt under cover rubber plug and then install special tool MD998738. Screw the special tool until it contacts the timing belt tensioner arm.
NOTE
The special tool must be screwed in gradually at the rate of a 30 degree turn per second. If it is screwed in all at once, the timing belt tensioner adjuster rod will not easily retract and the tool may bend.
Gradually screw in the special tool and then align the timing belt tensioner adjuster rod set hole “A” with the timing belt tensioner adjuster cylinder set hole “B”.
Insert a wire or pin in the set holes to lock the assembly in place. After removing the special tool, loosen the timing belt tensioner pulley mounting bolts and remove the timing belt. If the belt is being reused be sure to mark the direction of rotation (clockwise) on the belt.
Remove the timing belt tensioner pulley, tensioner arm and adjuster.
Remove the timing belt idler pulley. Remove the timing belt lower cover bracket. Remove the crankshaft position sensor.
Remove the crankshaft pulley center bolt and washer. Remove the drive sprocket. Remove the crankshaft angle sensing blade.
Remove the balancer timing belt tensioner. Remove the timing belt “B” (balancer belt) from its mounting.
Timing belt tensioner adjuster rod set hole “A” and cylinder set hole “B”—2004–2005 Galant and 2004–2005 Lancer 2.4L engine
To install:
Belt tension checking—2004–2005 Galant and 2004–2005 Lancer 2.4L engine
Cylinder block plug location—2004–2005 Galant and 2004–2005 Lancer 2.4L engine
Timing belt sprocket alignment—2002–2004–2005 Galant and 2004–2005 Lancer 2.4L engine
when you broke the belt you most likely broke the magnet for the cam sensor. What you need to do is spin the engine around to TDC and look for a magnet.
I hate to have to tell you this, but the 2.4L (4g64) is an interference engine. That means when the timing belt broke, the pistons hit the valves, causing at least a few of them to bend.
here is the overhaul section of the factory service manual for the 2.4L. its technically from the eclipse manual but it will work for the galant. The intake manifold and exhaust manifolds may not be the same but the head, block and timing belt sections are exactly the same. http://tearstone.com/eclipsefsm/GR00007100-11B.pdf
also here is a walk thru (with pics) for the timing belt procedure: denlorstools com
Sorry for the delay. I am personally going back to answer your unanswered question. I do not know if you still need the answer, but I am going to answer it in case you still do.
The timing marks are inside the belt cover. You have to bring the #1 piston all the way to the top of it's travel, this is called Top Dead Center or TDC. All other timing critical pulleys are marked, if you can't see them, clean them.
