How do you replace the timing chain of the Toyota RAV 4?

Model: Toyota Rav 4 MK 4, Xa40 - Years 2013-2018
Part: Timing belt

On board the Toyota RAV 4, the replacement of the timing chain is done by lifting the car with a jack or a lift, so that it is possible to completely remove the front right wheel and the corresponding wheel arch. Once these components have been removed, access to the belt located on the left side of the engine block can be obtained: here it will be necessary to loosen the nuts that secure the chain tensioner, which must then be removed. In this way, the tension of the belt will be reduced and it will be possible to remove it, replacing it with a new piece to be properly installed.
