Liberty Sport 4WD L4-2.4L VIN 1 (2002)
Fig. 104 Timing Belt Tension Adjustment
5. Insert a 6 mm Allen wrench into the hexagon opening located on the top plate of the belt tensioner pulley Rotate the top plate
COUNTERCLOCKWISE . The tensioner pulley will move against the belt and the tensioner setting notch will eventually start to move clockwise.
Watching the movement of the setting notch, continue rotating the top plate counterclockwise until the setting notch is aligned with the spring tang
(Fig. 104). Using the allen wrench to prevent the top plate from moving, torque the tensioner lock nut to 30 Nm (22 ft. lbs.). Setting notch and
spring tang should remain aligned after lock nut is torqued.
6. Remove allen wrench and torque wrench.
NOTE: Repositioning the crankshaft to the TDC position must be done only during the CLOCKWISE rotation movement. If TDC is missed,
rotate a further two revolutions until TDC is achieved. DO NOT rotate crankshaft counterclockwise as this will make verification of proper
tensioner setting impossible.
