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
(2) (trailing edge of sprocket tooth).
NOTE: The crankshaft sprocket TDC mark (2) 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 camshaft timing marks to be misaligned.
4. Loosen timing belt tensioner lock bolt (1).
5. Insert Allen wrench into the hexagon opening located on the top plate (2) of the belt tensioner pulley. Rotate the top plate (2)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 incorrect tracking (alignment), the belt tensioner pulley and bracket must be replaced as an
assembly . See: Engine, Cooling and Exhaust/Engine/Timing Components/Timing Belt Tensioner/Service and Repair/Engine Timing
