This type of work is normally entrusted to an expert, if you choose to have a go yourself, I would recommend that you buy a workshop manual and look at what tools and equipment you may need. The cost may outweigh having the belt replaced by a local garage, try getting some local quotes to see how much you would be charged to have the job done professionally.

The failure of the 2004 Kia 2.4 liter timing belt can cause severe damage to the piston heads and the valves. The timing belt failure can ruin the engine.
