CAUTION:  When tightening the center bolt, be careful that the tensioner pulley does not turn with the bolt.

6. Loosen the center bolt of the tensioner pulley. Use special tool MD998767 and a torque wrench to apply the tension torque to the timing belt

as shown in the illustration. Then tighten the center bolt to the specified torque.
Standard value: 4.4 Nm (39 inch lbs.) <Timing belt tension torque>
Tightening torque: 48 ± 6 Nm (36 ± 4 ft. lbs.)

7. Remove the setting pin that has been inserted into the auto-tensioner.
8. Turn the crankshaft clockwise twice to align the timing marks.

9. Wait for at least five minutes, then check that the auto-tensioner pushrod extends within the standard value range.

Standard value (A): 4.8 - 6.0 mm (0.19 - 0.24 inch)

10. If not, repeat steps 1 through 8 above.
11. Check again that the timing marks of the sprockets are aligned.
