The first thing to do when you want to replace the timing belt on the Dacia Sandero is to open the bonnet, secure the wheels, and lift the car. After lifting the car, you can proceed to remove the front wheels and finally unscrew and remove the fastening elements of the wheel arch.

Using a 13mm spanner, pull the pulley and then remove the timing belt.

Now let's start the assembly. Install the new belt, using the 13mm spanner to slowly pull the pulley and place the pulley on the tensioner belt.

Rotate the crankshaft several times to check the operation of the belt; for this operation, use an 18mm spanner. Install the wheel arches and tighten their elements, insert the wheel, and screw in the bolts.

Finally, lower the car and close the bonnet.

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat.
