Hey folks,
SWMBO has a 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe with a 2.7 V-6, and it's timing belt is at 67K miles. So....I need to change it!![Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)](https://xs11.club/core/images/smilies/rolleyes.png)
I've had to change timing belts before, did it 3 times on our old '84 Escort at ~30k, 60K, 90k!
I don't have a manual!
But I've found the Online version that Hyundai offers, already signed up, and have accessed it. HOWEVER the quality of their photos/diagrams for it SUCK!! ![Mad](https://xs11.club/core/images/smilies/mad.png)
I also found a procedure guide on the AUTOZONE parts site online! But their diagram/procedure is for the 3.5 DOHC type engine.
I'm not looking/asking for any kind of step by step guide, just for any pointers or pitfalls in the process that I need to watch out for!
The instructions talk about a pin in the tensioner to hold it back until the belt is routed. One set of inst. mentioned needing to actually set the tension with a torque wrench on the tensioner....like 4 ft lbs???
I'll be doing this job this weekend, thanks in advance!
