How do you replace the timing chain of the Opel Astra?

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra J - Years 2009-2016
Part: Timing belt

In order to replace the timing chain of the Opel Astra, you need to lift the car so that you can loosen the nuts that secure the front right wheel to the corresponding hub: once the wheel has been removed along with its fender, you will be able to locate the timing chain. By loosening the screws that secure the tensioner, you can reduce the tension and replace it with a new one: after the new one has been inserted, you can adjust the tension to ensure that everything functions correctly.
