Video tutorial

The video shows how to replace the timing belt of your car, step by step. It is advisable to carry out this operation every 50,000-62,000 miles, and certainly before the old belt fails to avoid further costly repair issues.

To remove the old piece, apply clockwise leverage on the flywheel as shown in the video, which will allow the spring that keeps the belt tensioned to loosen and enable extraction. You can now insert the new belt using the same method illustrated previously and shown in the video.

This procedure is valid only for the Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.7 V8.
