How do you replace the timing chain of a Nissan Micra?

Model: Nissan Micra K13 - Years 2010-2017
Part: Timing belt

It will be possible to replace the timing chain of the Nissan Micra by lifting the car so that the corresponding front wheel is not in contact with the ground. Once the car is lifted, you can proceed to loosen the screws that secure the right wheel and the inner fender lining. By doing this, you will gain access to the side of the engine, where the chain tensioner is located and needs to be removed. By loosening the fastening screws of the chain tensioner, you will be able to reduce the tension of the chain in order to insert the new one.
