REMOVAL

REMOVAL - TIMING BELT

(1) Disconnect negative battery cable.
(2) Remove upper and lower front timing belt cov-
ers (Fig. 159). (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/VALVE TIM-
ING/TIMING BELT COVER(S) - REMOVAL).
CAUTION: When aligning crankshaft and camshaft
timing marks always rotate engine from crankshaft.
Camshaft should not be rotated after timing belt is
removed. Damage to valve components may occur.
Always align timing marks before removing timing
belt.
(3) Before the removal of the timing belt, rotate
crankshaft until the TDC mark on oil pump housing
aligns with the TDC mark on crankshaft sprocket
(trailing edge of sprocket tooth) (Fig. 164).
NOTE: The crankshaft sprocket TDC mark is
located on the trailing edge of the sprocket tooth.
Failure to align trailing edge of sprocket tooth to
TDC mark on oil pump housing will cause the cam-
shaft timing marks to be misaligned.
(4) Loosen timing belt tensioner lock bolt (Fig.
MOUNTING/
165).
(5) Insert a 6 mm Allen wrench into the hexagon
opening located on the top plate of the belt tensioner
pulley (Fig. 165). Rotate the top plate CLOCKWISE
until there is enough slack in timing belt to allow for
removal.
(6) Remove timing belt.
CAUTION: If timing belt was damaged due to incor-
rect tracking (alignment), the belt tensioner pulley
and bracket must be replaced as an assembly
(Refer to 9 - ENGINE/VALVE TIMING/TIMING BELT
TENSIONER & PULLEY - REMOVAL).

REMOVAL - CAMSHAFT SPROCKET(S)

(1) Remove upper and lower front timing belt cov-
ers (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/VALVE TIMING/TIMING
BELT COVER(S) - REMOVAL).
