To replace the timing chain on the 1.6 THP engine, completely remove the left side panel of the engine block along with the valve cover. This will make the chain visible and allow you to reduce its tension by loosening the bolts that secure the tensioner.

At this point, completely slide the chain off the sprockets of the crankshaft and camshafts, so you can insert the new replacement part. After the replacement, reinstall the tensioner, tension it back up, and ensure the engine operates correctly.
