Replacing the timing belt is crucial maintenance to preserve the engine, as its failure could cause severe damage; it is not typical DIY maintenance, as there are specific precautions to observe and certain tools required, such as timing tools. Start by removing all covers, including the wheel and the passenger side splash guard, to access the timing belt area; first, remove the auxiliary belt, then rotate the crankshaft pulley to perfectly align the timing marks and continue disassembly using the timing tools; then remove the water pump and the belt tensioner, and proceed in reverse for reassembly.
