The timing belt is a crucial component for the operation of the entire automotive system. In this description, you will see how to replace it quickly and without too much effort.

To remove it, you need to unscrew the bolt located at the centre of the largest pulley. Now you can take it off completely and position the new belt.

Pass the belt around the largest pulley and through all the necessary pulleys, then tighten the bolt on the largest pulley again to ensure the belt adheres correctly to all the pulleys.
