With the help of a fixed wrench and the special tool, lock the pulley and loosen the chain tensioner. By levering the belt tensioner, loosen the tension to remove the chain. Remove the bolts of the two belt tensioner supports and take them off. Replace the pulleys and tensioners with new ones, making sure to reassemble all parts correctly.

How do you adjust the clutch cable on the Kia Picanto?

To be able to adjust the clutch cable of the Kia Picanto you need to open the hood so that you have access to the components inside the engine compartment: in order to reach the cable you will need to remove some components on the right side, such as the battery and the air filter. Below them you will find the clutch cable, which will have to be adjusted by screwing or loosening the bolt placed at the end of the cable. This will make the pedal harder or softer; after the adjustment, it will be possible to assemble all the components by closing the hood.
