First, remove the auxiliary belt, and since you need to easily remove the timing belt, also remove the engine support. Use a jack to support the engine and detach the support.

At this point, remove the timing belt cover, align the timing marks, and proceed to remove the toothed belt and then the crankshaft pulley (an extractor may be required). Once the belt is removed, take off the bearings and tensioner, which should be replaced with the new ones from the kit; then proceed with the installation of the new belt, ensuring the timing marks are maintained and that it is correctly tensioned.

Complete the installation by reassembling all previously removed components.

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
