Any special tools required to change the timing belt on a Hyundai coupe any tips to help me?
Depending on the mileage you'll probably want to change the water pump while you're in there. A new pump is not that expensive (about $35) and you have to remove the timing belt and Idler pulley to get to it anyway. Make sure you get a new gasket set for the Timing belt dust cover ahead of time. I believe it's a dealer item or at best acouple of days ordered. (no one had one in stock when I did mine) I did not use any special tools when I changed my pump and belt but I did have to be creative. The water pulley bolts are so close to the fender wall I had to grip the 10mm socket from the side with Vice Grip pliers to tighten them. No room for a ratchet or torque wrench! Be sure to position the main crankshaft in a stable location (TDC is fine) and MARK notches on the upper and lower timing gears. Install the tensioning pulley and force it against the spring and water pump while tightening the locking bolt to restrain it. Installing the tensioning pulley and restraining it in the correct position to facilitate the installation of the belt was probably the hardest part of this job, but it is possible. Do not move the engine internals while the belt is off. If you do all this carefully you should be able to get the new belt back on with little trouble by applying counter clockwise torque to the upper timing gear while slipping the belt on that same gear. You must position the new belt properly on the gears with all of the slack in the belt on the back side of engine. Rotate the Engine clockwise from the main crank shaft a couple of times to make sure your marks return to their respective positions properly. Good luck
