Learn how to remove and replace the timing belt on a Honda Civic: lift the bonnet, remove the engine soundproofing panel and the timing belt cover, and raise the car on a column lift or jack (remove the front wheel, using a screwdriver to detach the right wheel arch liner).

Use a suitable spanner to loosen the tensioner pulley and slide the belt off its seat.

Using a socket wrench, unscrew the tensioner pulley bolt and remove the water pump. Fit the new water pump (previously removed), the tensioner, and the belt itself, tightening everything with the socket wrench.

Finally, reattach the rivets along with the wheel arch liner and refit the wheel with the tyre onto the vehicle.
