Replacing the timing belt is a delicate operation, advisable only for experienced individuals. Obtain the vehicle's maintenance manual, replacement belts, tensioner wheels, tensioners, the belt installation diagram, and special tools.

Start by removing the cover that needs to be taken off. Loosen the wheel nuts and lift the vehicle securely. Unscrew the bolts and remove the wheel, brake, wing, and cover.

Using a spanner and the appropriate tool, lock the pulley and loosen the tensioner. Leverage the tensioner to reduce tension and remove the belt.

Remove the bolts from the two tensioner supports and take them out. Replace the pulleys and tensioners with new parts, ensuring all components are correctly reassembled. Install the tensioners and new belts following the assembly diagram.

Refit the cover.
