Replacing Poly-V Belt on Suzuki Swift

Model: Suzuki Swift Rs41, AZG, MK 5 - Years 2010-2017
Part: V-belt

Open the bonnet and place the support rod. Unscrew the two 12 mm bolts holding the alternator and, using an 8 mm Allen key, unscrew the bolt located at the lower rear (it is quite hidden), as shown in the video. Once the bolts are loosened, the belt will no longer be under tension, allowing you to move the various parts to extract it: however, be careful to remember exactly how it was fitted, or if you feel unsure, take photos before removing it. Once done, fit the new belt you purchased exactly as the original was fitted, then tighten the bolts.
