What is the method for replacing the timing belt on a Hyundai Elantra?

[Braxton]

Here is the method for replacing the timing belt on a Hyundai Elantra: 1. Remove the plastic protective cover under the engine to expose the generator belt, then remove the exposed generator belt. 2. Remove the engine crankshaft output wheel next to the oil filter and move the expansion tank aside. 3. Loosen the bolts of the main fixing bracket, remove the fixed triangular bracket, and then remove the timing belt protective cover and the belt. Install the new belt. Here are some relevant details: 1. The timing belt has low noise, minimal self-variation, and is easy to compensate, but its lifespan is shorter than that of metal gears. 2. The belt is exposed outside the engine, and over time, the surface of the belt will begin to age, even developing cracks, leading to issues like belt slippage. 3. Aging and breaking of the belt can cause the engine to bend the valves, and in severe cases, the valves, pistons, and crankshaft may all be damaged beyond repair.
