- Loosen, but do not remove 4 bolts securing FIP drive belt gear to hub.
- Fit locking pin 18G 1717 through injection pump drive gear and into hole in adapter plate.
CAUTION: Locking pin must be a sliding fit, if pin is tight, rotate pump drive gear slightly using a socket on pump drive gear nut until pin can be inserted correctly.
- Check that timing marks on camshaft gear and back cover are still aligned.
CAUTION: If drive belt is to be refitted, mark direction of rotation on belt.
- Loosen Allen bolt securing tensioner pulley, move tensioner away from belt and tighten Allen bolt.
- Remove FIP timing belt.
CAUTION: Do not rotate camshaft or FIP with timing belt removed. Ease belt from gears using fingers only. Store a belt on its edge with a radius greater than 50 mm. DO NOT use a belt which has been twisted or bent double as this can fracture reinforcing fibres. Do not use an oil contaminated belt. Although the belt has a service life of 84,000 miles, (135,000 km) an existing belt should only be refitted if it has completed less than 42,000 miles, (65,000 km).
- Remove bolt securing FIP belt drive gear.
- Remove FIP belt drive gear.
CAUTION: If the gear has been subjected to prolonged oil contamination, it must be soaked in a solvent bath and thoroughly washed with solvent before refitting. Because of the porous construction of the sintered material, oil impregnated in the gear will emerge and contaminate a new belt.
CAUTION: If FIP belt shows any sign of oil contamination, renew belt.
- Remove Allen bolt securing FIP drive belt tensioner and remove tensioner.
