To access the automobile's timing belt kit, you need to disassemble the vehicle and lift the wheel. It is essential to remove the accessory belt, setting aside the timing covers.

Once the tensioner pulleys are detached, you can proceed to remove the timing belt. Since it is internal to the timing system, the water pump must also be removed.

Compare the disassembled parts with the new ones, and then proceed to install all the various components: water pump, tensioner pulleys, and timing belt with all references aligned, and then check if it has the correct tension.
