J 22888-20 Crankshaft Gear Remover
1. Remove the engine front cover.
Notice: When using the crankshaft balancer bolt to rotate the engine, install sufficient spacers on the bolt to prevent the bolt from going to far in the
crankshaft and damaging the threads of the bolt.
Important: Make sure the camshaft sprocket alignment mark, which is an 8 mm hole, and the stamped circle in the crankshaft sprocket align with the
tabs on the timing chain tensioner.
2. Rotate the crankshaft until the number 1 piston is at Top Dead Center (TDC) of the compression stroke.
3. Remove the camshaft timing chain tensioner bolts.
