33. Removal of timing belt " B."
Make a mark on the back of the timing belt indicating the direction of rotation so it may be reassembled in the same direction if it is to be reused.
Caution: Water or oil on the belt shortens its life drastically, so the removed timing belt, sprocket, and tensioner must be free from oil and water.
These parts should not be washed. Replace parts if seriously contaminated. If there is oil or water on each part check the front case oil seals,
camshaft oil seal and water pump for leaks.
