To replace the timing chain on a Suzuki SX-4, you must completely remove the engine block from its housing. Once the engine block is extracted, loosen the bolts securing the valve cover and the one located on the left side of the block.

At this point, you can loosen the bolts securing the chain tensioner, reducing the tension on the chain and removing it from its seat. After removal, you can reassemble all the components that were previously taken off.
