Replacing the timing belt is not typical DIY maintenance as it requires special tools to secure and maintain the timing references. Start by placing a support under the engine since you need to remove the side support and the coolant reservoir to gain access.

Remove the auxiliary belt and detach the crankshaft pulley to take off the plastic cover protecting the timing belt. At this point, align the timing references and apply the appropriate tools to prevent movement during disassembly.

Finally, loosen the tensioner, remove the timing belt, and replace the water pump before refitting the new belt along with the tensioner and bearing.
