mark the belt and a tooth on each sprocket (cam, crank, intermediate)
I know that's how the 2000 guys did it when we had our timing belt g2g. My '01 doesn't have an intermediate shaft, so I couldn't tell ya. Make sure you get a good count of teeth between each mark on the belt.

Well, the belt broke, there is no way to count the teeth... how do i time the shaft if there is no timing marks on it???

the belt broke?? while you were taking everything apart, or while you were driving?
If it broke while driving, you're going to need to pull the head off and see if there is any piston or valve damage. That's bad.
