Replacing the belts on a Suzuki Grand Vitara? Open the engine bonnet and lift it, securing it in place. Remove the cover plastics.

Disconnect the power wiring with pliers, and remove the plastic undertray with a screwdriver. Use a spanner to loosen the tensioner pulley and slide the belt off its seat.

With a socket wrench, unscrew the tensioner pulley securing bolt. Fit the new water pump, the tensioner, and the belt itself, tightening everything with the socket wrench.
