The procedure for replacing the timing belt on an Opel Corsa involves opening the bonnet to access the components located inside the engine bay: here, on the left side, you will find a panel that needs to be removed to access the underlying components.

By loosening the central nut of the tensioner pulley, you can reduce the tension on the belt and slide it off the appropriate toothed wheels: the new replacement part can then be inserted, and by reinstalling the pulley, you can restore the tension.
