Learn how to remove and replace the timing belt on a Hyundai Elantra. Lift the car on a column lift and remove the front wheel, using a screwdriver to detach the right splash guard.

Once you can see the part to be removed: loosen the tensioner pulley with a spanner and slide the belt off the pulleys. Using a socket wrench, unscrew the tensioner pulley bolt, and remove the water pump as shown in the video.
