To replace the timing belt on an Opel Astra, open the bonnet to access the components located on the side of the engine block. Here you will find the timing belt around the relevant pulleys.

To remove it, you will need to loosen the screws securing the right front wheel and the corresponding wheel arch. At this point, you can remove the tensioner pulley and then slide out the belt.

This will allow you to fit the new replacement part, re-mount the pulley, and check that the engine runs correctly.
