On the Toyota RAV4, replacing the timing chain involves lifting the vehicle with a jack or ramp to completely remove the right front wheel and the corresponding wheel arch. Once these components are removed, access the chain located on the left side of the engine block.

Here, loosen the nuts securing the chain tensioner, which will then need to be removed. This will reduce the tension on the chain, allowing it to be removed and replaced with a new piece to install appropriately.
