To replace the timing belt on a Ford Escape, loosen the screws that secure the side cover of the engine block to access the underlying components: here you will find the belt, which can be removed by reducing its tension. To do this, loosen the center nut of the tensioner pulley, completely removing it from its seat: this way, the old belt can be completely slid off, and the new one can be installed by tensioning it again with the tensioner pulley.
