How do you replace the timing belt on a Ford Focus?

Model: Ford Focus MK 3 - Years 2011-2018
Part: Timing belt

The operation of replacing the timing belt on the Ford Focus can be carried out by lifting the car using a jack or a lift, so that the front right wheel is not in contact with the ground. Once the corresponding wheel and wheel arch have been removed, it will be possible to proceed by loosening the central nut that secures the tensioner pulley. By removing this pulley, the tension on the belt can be reduced, allowing it to be removed. It will then be possible to insert the new belt in order to verify that everything functions correctly.
