Replacing the timing chain on the Hyundai Santa Fe involves opening the bonnet to access the components inside the engine block. You will need to loosen the screws that secure the left protection panel of the engine block, removing it along with the front right wheel and its wheel arch.

Once all this is removed, you will have access to the underlying chain, which can be removed by loosening the screws that secure the tensioner; at this point, you can insert the new replacement part, ensuring everything is functioning correctly.
