CAUTION
When removing the timing belt, be sure not to bend the belt sharply (that is, do not bend the
belt into a small radius). The cablecord contained in the timing belt is extremely durable against
tensile forces. However, the cablecord is susceptible to breakage when the belt is sharply
bent. Bending reduces the belt's overall strength.
5. Carefully remove the timing belt from its pulleys.
