How do i replace the timing belt on the Kia Sportage?

Model: Kia Sportage MK 1, JA - Years 1993-2002
Part: Timing belt

In order to replace the timing belt of the Kia Sportage you have to open the hood and go to remove the cover of the side of the engine, to have access to the pulleys. Here it will be necessary to loosen the central pin that fixes the tensioning roller and then loosen the bolts that fix the water pump. It will be advisable to place a container under the pump, to collect the refrigerant that will leak. It will now be possible to remove the belt from the pulleys and replace it with a new spare part. After installation, all the parts previously removed must be installed.
