–  Unscrew securing bolt for camshaft sprocket approx. 3 turns (counterhold with counterhold tool -3036-).

–  Use two-arm puller -T40001-, claw -T40001/6- and claw -T40001/7- to pull off camshaft sprocket. –  Unscrew bolt and remove camshaft sprocket. –  Remove parallel key from camshaft.

–  To guide oil seal extractor, screw adapter -2085/2- into camshaft as far as it will go until finger-tight. –  Unscrew inner part of oil seal extractor -2085- 2 turns (approx. 3 mm) from outer part of extractor and lock in position with knurled screw.

–  Lubricate threaded head of oil seal extractor -2085-, place it in position and, while exerting firm pressure, screw it into oil seal as far as possible. –  Loosen knurled screw and turn inner part of extractor against camshaft until oil seal has been extracted. –  Clamp flats of oil seal extractor in vice and use pliers to remove seal.   Note t  Do not lubricate sealing lip of oil seal. t  Apply invisible adhesive tape onto groove for parallel key to protect oil seal.

–  Insert parallel key into groove on camshaft. –  Install camshaft sprocket. –  Tighten securing bolt of camshaft sprocket (use counterhold tool -3036-).   Note If a piston is at TDC the valves could strike the piston when turning the camshaft. Pistons must therefore not be at TDC Otherwise, there is a risk of damage to valves and piston crowns. –  Fit toothed belt: t  Vehicles to 04.2003 → Anchor. t  Vehicles from 05.2003 to 05.2004 → Anchor. t  Vehicles from 06.2004 → Anchor. –  Install poly V-belt → Chapter. –  Install lock carrier with attachments → General body repairs, exterior; Rep.
