To replace the timing belt on the Suzuki Grand Vitara, you need to lift the car by loosening the bolts that secure the front right wheel and the corresponding inner wheel arch cover. This will allow access to the side of the engine, where you can loosen the central nut of the tensioner pulley.

This will reduce the tension on the belt, allowing you to remove it from its housing and install a new replacement part. After the replacement, reinsert all the removed components, ensuring everything is functioning correctly.
