c. Turn the crankshaft pulley approximately 50° clockwise, and put the timing mark of the crankshaft pulley in line with the centers of the
crankshaft pulley bolt and the No.2 timing belt idler pulley bolt.
NOTICE: If the timing belt is disengaged, having the crankshaft pulley at the wrong angle can cause the piston head and valve head to come
into contact with each other when you remove the camshaft timing pulley (step 15), causing damage. So always set the crankshaft pulley at the
correct angle.
d. Remove the crankshaft pulley bolt.
NOTICE: Do not turn the crankshaft pulley.

matchmarks on the timing belt and RH camshaft timing pulley.
Alternately loosen the 2 bolts, and remove them, the belt tensioner and dust boot.
