Timing Chain Install

So, I recently was getting the diesel noise coming from the front of the passenger side. From what I have read, many people said to replace the tensioner and that should fix it. I tried that... to my luck, that damn noise still exist. So, someone recommended replacing the entire kit. I am not paying the arm and leg to get it done (since 2 months ago I paid for a clutch job.) I tried looking all over the interweb for step by step but, nothing. Has anyone found anything that would help me do this job?

Have a look at the start and the end of this video, it will give you some guide as to what is required, don't forget to have a good workshop manual like Bentley as well. Whilst the video has the engine out of the car, you may be able to do it with the engine in situ.

I would recommend a Bentley manual.
