Model: Hyundai Tucson JM, MK 1 - Years 2004-2009
Part: Timing belt

The main steps outlined in this guide will show us the procedure for disassembling and replacing the timing belt of the Hyundai Tucson. First, we open the hood of the car and start disassembling and removing the engine support on the distribution side; we then disconnect the V-belt, removing the crankshaft pulley, as shown in the video. At this point, we remove the distribution cover to access the belt, then proceed with the removal of the belt and accessory components; we then install the new original distribution components.
