What is a timing belt kit? 
The belt in a timing belt kit is an essential component of a car's engine, responsible for synchronising the rotation of the crankshaft and camshaft. The rotation of the camshaft and the crankshaft has to be in perfect time for the valves, pistons and other moving parts to work properly.

How to replace the timing belt kit：

Gaskets.
Whilst getting hold of the belt it is also a good idea to buy some new gaskets and gasket adhesive. 

Disconnect the battery.
To make sure that you don’t suffer any nasty electrical shocks whilst you are working on your vehicle, disconnect the negative battery cable from its terminal. There is no need to remove the entire battery; just breaking the circuit will be enough to keep you safe. Remember that you may need to enter a code to regain access to your in-built electrical devices such as radios and Sat-Navs when you reconnect the battery later on.

Remove the alternator belt.

The alternator belt is a smaller belt which is usually located on top of or in front of the timing belt. You will need to loosen the nuts in order to create slack to be able to take the belt off. On some makes and models of car it will also be necessary to remove the serpentine belt. If it is in the way then you will need to take it off.

Accessories.
There are quite a few car accessories such as the power steering
pump and the air conditioning compressor which will often prevent you from gaining direct access to your timing belt. Remove all of these by loosening the nuts and taking care to remember what goes where. You shouldn’t have to remove any pressurised fittings, so take care not to discharge any pressurised systems. This could cause a lot of problems later on.

Distributor cap.

If your car has a distributor cap then you will need to remove it. This may involve prying apart some very stubborn clips but there will also be screws holding it in place so make sure that you remove these too. 

Timing marks. 
Rotate the crankshaft bolt so that the timing mark aligns with the 0 on the timing scale. You will need a spanner to do this.

Screws and bolts. 
Remove all of the screws and bolts which hold in the timing cover in position. Take the cover off completely .

Alignment.
Check that the crankshaft and the camshaft timing marks are properly aligned. You should find that there are dots or lines on both the pulleys and the shaft heads which should be lined up. Make sure that the corresponding marks are in the right place.

Leaks. 
Make sure that there are no leaks of oil or water around the area in which you are going to be working.

Belt tensioner.
Loosen the bolts which hold the belt tensioner in place to create slack which will allow you to slide the old timing belt off.

New belt.
Position the new belt in place and make sure that you torque it according to the correct specifications laid out in your manual.

Reassemble.
Once your new belt is in place and correctly tensioned, replace all of the parts of the car which you had previously removed in reverse order to the way in which you took them off. Test drive. Start the engine and drive slowly around some quiet roads to check that the timing belt has been correctly fitted and that there is no other damage to the car’s engine.
