- Loosen but do not remove 4 bolts securing injection pump timing belt camshaft gear to hub.
- Insert locking pin 18G 1717 through hole in injection pump drive gear and into hole in mounting plate.
NOTE: Locking pin 18G 1717 must be a sliding fit, if pin is tight, rotate pump drive gear slightly using a socket on the hub nut until pin can be inserted correctly.
- Check that camshaft gear timing mark is still aligned with mark on back cover.
- If injection pump timing belt is to be refitted, mark direction of rotation on belt.
- Loosen Allen bolt securing tensioner pulley to mounting plate, move tensioner aside.
- Remove injection pump timing belt.
CAUTION: Do not rotate camshaft or injection pump with timing belt removed. Ease timing belt from gears using fingers only. Metal levers may damage the belt and gears. Store a belt on its edge with a radius greater than 50 mm. DO NOT use a belt that has been twisted or bent double as this can fracture the reinforcing fibres. Do not use an oil or coolant contaminated belt. Cause of contamination must be rectified. 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).
