Video tutorial

To replace the timing belt on a Ford B-Max, lift the vehicle with a jack or ramp to remove the front right wheel and the corresponding wheel arch, along with the cover on top of the engine block. This will allow you to loosen the camshaft pulleys and the central nut on the tensioner pulley: this will reduce the tension on the belt, allowing it to be removed from its seat.

The new belt can then be fitted, ensuring everything functions correctly.
