Here's a write up from GDE, but like above 2 plugs on the left, and right front of cylinder head, remove them and install locking bolt pins.
Jeep Liberty CRD Timing Belt Replacement Procedure (2.8l diesel)
Remove cooling fan. The fan assembly is best removed with a very large crescent wrench on the nut just behind the fan viscous coupling. Then hit the wrench in a counter clockwise direction with a small sledgehammer. It may help to spray with penetrating oil. Worst case, wedge something behind the fan drive pulley to keep it from rotating and then use the sledge method. Remove fan shroud (2-10 mm bolts)Remove accessory drive belt. Remove both idler pulley (right hand thread, 16 mm) (a), power steering pump (3 bolts that you get to by rotating the pulley, 10 mm) (b), accessory belt tensioner (c), cooling fan pulley and bracket( 4-13 mm bolts) (d), crankshaft pulley/damper (4-10mm bolts, you may need to hold the pulley by the 21 mm center bolt) (e), and alternator (2-13 mm bolts on the front and 1-15 mm on the back side-note you will have to loosen the 2-13 mm bolts for the bracket that holds the alternator to the cylinder head) (f) . Remove the front timing cover (7mm bolt x 17) Remove both plugs in the camshaft cover (one on intake side behind alternator placement, one on exhaust side behind thermostat area). Remove the plugs with a 5mm hex. Rotate the engine clockwise only with a 21mm socket on the front of the crankshaft until a 6mm hex key engages the hole in the flexplate/flywheel. There is also a timing mark on crankshaft front hub that will be 90 degrees ATDC when crank is properly timed. Inspect the two openings in the camshaft cover to see if the holes in the camshafts align. If so, install the two pins into the respective camshaft. If not, rotate the engine 360 degrees at the crankshaft, re-inspect and install pins.
Loosen the timing belt tensioner and rotate counterclockwise by hand until slack is sufficient to remove the belt from the pulley. Remove the old timing belt; discard when the refitting operating is completed successfully. Attach cam gear holding tool and tighten. Remove exhaust and intake cam pins. Loosen both camshaft pulleys by rotating the bolt (17mm) counterclockwise. It is sufficient to have them loose; they do not need to be removed. Reinstall the cam pins. Ensure that the high-pressure fuel pump pulley is oriented properly (see picture) and fit the new belt to the engine. With the belt properly installed around the pulleys, tension the timing belt with the pulley as shown in the picture. If the proper handle isn’t available, the pulley can be moved with two 3mm hex keys. Rotate the tensioner until the proper gap on the pulley is achieved. Tighten the center fixing bolt to 30N-m. Install the cam gear holding tool and tighten to obtain proper belt position with respect to the cam gears. Then torque the two camshaft pulley bolts to 80 ft-lb. Remove the two camshaft pins and crankshaft pins and rotate the engine 720 degrees and verify that the timing belt tensioner is still in the proper orientation. Reinstall the timing belt cover and all ancillary components.
