How to Replace the Timing Belt on the Mercedes SLK?

Model: Mercedes Slk R170, MK 1 - Years 1997-2004
Part: Timing belt

To replace the timing belt on the Mercedes SLK, open the bonnet and specifically access the left side of the engine block. Here, you will find the pulleys around which the belt is arranged, which need to be removed by loosening the nuts that secure their central pins. Once the pulleys are removed, you can slide the belt out of its housing, replacing it with a new spare part. After the replacement, reinstall all components that were removed earlier.
