The timing belt that i used was $50 dayco from Pepboys. The removed Hyundai timing belt was made by bando. The new balance belt was $22 goodyear from kragen/oriley (Pepboys was out it would have been a $20 dayco). The removed Hyundai balance belt was made by Gates(powergrip). The dealership in Pasadena wanted $515 for the job and that include all belts (both timing and 2 accessory belts).
1.(optional) Spray out the passenger side front wheel well so that all the brake dust is removed. Make sure everything is dry before continuing.
2.Put the car on a jack stand(1) and take off the right front (passenger side front) wheel (don't forget wheel chocks and the parking brake).
3.Remove 2 sets of splash covers on the passenger side.
4.Loosen Crankshaft pulley bolt - 22mm impact socket + breaker bar + long pipe braced against the ground. Click Engine for 0.5 seconds and the bolt should break free (or use and impact wrench).
5.Support the engine by the oil pan using 2 wood blocks and a floor jack.
6.Remove engine mount on the passenger side. Pop power steering reservoir up and use a 17mm impact socket and breaker bar to loosen the right (radiator) bolt holding the engine mount (after breaking free the bolt you can use a regular socket wrench to turn the bolt out). Remove that bolt. Use the 17mm socket + breaker bar + pipe to remove the 3 bolts attaching the engine mount to the engine.
7.Remove the bolt securing the power steering line (so you get a little more room).
8.Raise the engine till the water pump pulley bolts are accessible by a socket wrench and then loosen those 4 x 10mm bolts (at this time the belts should still be on which will help hold the pulley from turning).
9.Remove the power steering belt (turn the screw holding the belt tensioner closest to the radiator counter clockwise) and alternator belt (loosen the side bolt holding the slide on the alternator).
10.Remove the Upper timing cover.
11.On the crankshaft pulley remove the 4 x 12mm bolts and take off the crankshaft pulley. (an impact wrench really helps for these 4 bolts but you have to use a regular deep socket because the impact sockets are too thick)
12.Remove the lower timing cover (jack the engine up and down to make accessing the bolts easier).
13.Rotate the crank shaft clockwise to set the timing marks. Intake cam, exhaust cam, left balance shaft, right balance shaft/oil pump, and crankshaft sensing blade. 5 sets of timing marks in total.
14.Use a permanent marker and mark a few timing spots onto the timing belt. This is for reference just in case you need to put this belt back on the exact same spot. I used the 2 cam shaft timing marks and an arbitrary place on the crankshaft. This technique is also helpful when installing the new timing belt by transferring the marks on the old belt to the new belt.
15.Unbolt the auto tensioner (2) screws. Be careful when this thing releases the tension on the timing belt just about every cam/sprocket will turn.
16.Check the auto tensioner it should have a 14.5mm extension (top of the housing to the top of the plunger). If not it probably needs to be replaced.
17.To reuse a the auto tensioner get a 100mm (minimum) clamp and slowly compress the plunger. When it is fully compressed put a pin into the hole.
18.Remove the crankshaft sprocket.
19.Pop off the crankshaft position sensor (2 screws) and move it out of the way.
20.Pop off the crankshaft sensing blade to get to the balance belt.
21.Loosen the balance belt tensioner and remove the balance belt.
22.Install the new balance belt.
23.Put back on the balance belt tensioner. The side with the lip and the protruding center should face out. On my car the bolt looked like it was at about 4 o'clock when the tensioner was put back on.
24.Put back on the crankshaft sensing blade and the crankshaft position sensor.
25.Put back on the crankshaft sprocket.
26.Install the new timing belt. Do your best to line up the timing marks. For this step it helps to move the intake cam forward a few(1-2) teeth and have someone hold the exhaust cam with a wrench. That way then the auto tensioner is put in the slack rolls the intake cam into it's proper position.
27.Install the auto tensioner with the pin still in.
28.Once all the timing marks are verified you can pull the pin in the auto tensioner.
29.Reassemble.
Please Let me know if i have missed a step or a tip so that I can update the instructions. My goal is to give any newbie the required instructions to do this job themselves.
