To replace the timing belt on the Opel Astra, lift the car with a jack or ramp so that you can loosen the screws securing the front wheel to its hub. By loosening these screws, you can proceed to remove the wheel and the inner lining of its wheel arch.

This will give access to the tensioner pulley, which can then be removed from its housing to insert the new belt: this can be tensioned again by reinstalling the pulley and ensuring that the engine runs correctly.
