Replacing the timing belt is a delicate operation, advisable only for experienced individuals. Obtain replacement belts, tensioner pulleys, tensioners, the belt installation diagram, and special tools.

Start by removing the cover that needs to be taken off. With the help of a spanner and the appropriate tool, lock the pulley and loosen the tensioner. Lever the tensioner to relieve tension and remove the belt.

Remove the bolts of the two tensioner supports and take them out. Replace the pulleys and tensioners with the new parts, ensuring all components are reassembled correctly, paying attention to the references for repositioning the pulleys in the correct spots.

Install the tensioners and new belts following the assembly diagram.

Refit the cover.
