To replace the timing belt on a Ford Focus, lift the car to remove the front right wheel and the corresponding inner wheel arch cover. Once these parts are removed, loosen the central bolt of the lower pulley to reduce the tension on the belt.

Access the engine bay to loosen the bolts on the other pulleys, sliding the belt out of its housing. Once removed, replace it with a new part and refit all previously removed components.
