To replace the timing belt on the Fiat Punto, lift the car with a jack or ramp so you can loosen the screws securing the front right wheel. At this point, proceed to loosen the screws securing the tensioner pulley in its housing, removing it to reduce the tension on the belt: the new belt can now be inserted and tensioned with the tensioner pulley.

You can then reassemble all other components, ensuring everything functions correctly.
