Release and lift the hood, then remove the engine cover by simply pulling it upward. Next, raise your vehicle on jack stands for easier access to the underside.

Remove the bolts securing the lower protective panel. Now, relieve tension from the tensioner while working from underneath, allowing you to remove the belt.

Finally, insert the new belt from the top and retrace your steps to reassemble the parts.
