7.1.
Place the number one piston at TDC.
7.2.
Rotate the crankshaft 90°.
7.3.
Install the J 41088 on to the balance shaft assembly in order to ensure that the shafts do not rotate while the driven sprocket bolt is
tightened.
IMPORTANT: The surface that was marked during disassembly of the driven sprocket must show if it is going to be reused. This will insure that the
chain continues to ride on the same surface. If a new driven sprocket will be installed, either surface can be placed against the shaft.
8. Install the driven sprocket to the shaft.
IMPORTANT: The balance shaft driven sprocket bolt is left hand threaded and must be tightened by rotating it in a counter clockwise direction.
