Hi, I spent 2 years at the hyundai dealer and done loads of these usually in less than a couple of hours. Probably not the correct way to do these but its the way i was told. Secret is take the top pulley off and pull the old belt out the bottom, after taking the bottom pulley and small front cover off. Then feed the new belt back up, locate on crankshaft, put top pulley under the belt at the top and lever it upwards (lever under back edge, levering against rocker cover) while pushing it back onto the camshaft (you may need to put the bolt in to hold it and tighten it very gently just to aid it on), you need to put it 1 tooth out cause it will only come up at the rear due to the spring in the tensioner. Check the timing marks line up, if they do then its done. As i said its not the correct way cause it doesn't retension it correctly but once your've done one its very easy this way. I done loads this way with never a problem. Hope this helps you.
