How do you replace the timing belt of the Hyundai Atos?

Model: Hyundai Atos MK 1 - Years 1997-2008
Part: Timing belt

It will be possible to replace the timing belt of the Hyundai Atos by lifting the car with a jack or a lift, so that the front right wheel is not in contact with the ground: once the car has been lifted and the wheel and corresponding wheel arch have been removed, access to the side of the engine block will be possible. The central nut of the timing belt tensioner pulley can be removed, removing the corresponding pulley and reducing the tension of the belt: the new one can now be positioned and the belt tension can be restored.
