To replace the timing chain on the Hyundai Tucson, it is advisable to remove the entire engine block from its bay after loosening the bolts that secure it to the mounts. Once the engine is removed, you can access its side components after removing the protective panels.

Underneath, you will find the sprockets around which the chain is positioned: by loosening the central pins of the sprockets, you can slide off the chain and replace it with a new one, reattaching the protective panels and reinserting the engine into its bay.
