REMOVAL & INSTALLATION

WARNING: This application is an interference

engine. DO NOT rotate camshafts or crankshaft when

timing belt is removed, or engine damage may occur.

REMOVAL & INSTALLATION > FRONT TIMING BELT

Tip: safe mark

CAUTION: DO NOT rotate crankshaft or camshafts

with timing belt removed and cylinder heads installed.

CAUTION: Camshaft timing belt must be replaced if

cylinder head is to be removed or if drive gears,

tensioner or coolant pump are to be replaced. Camshaft

timing belts must be stored and handled with care.

Always store a camshaft timing belt on its edge with a

bend radius greater than 2.0" (50 mm). DO NOT use a

camshaft timing belt that has been twisted or bent

double, as this will damage reinforcing fibers. DO NOT

use a camshaft timing belt if debris other than belt dust is

found in timing belt covers. DO NOT use a camshaft

timing belt if partial engine seizure has occurred. DO

NOT reuse a camshaft timing belt if mileage exceeds

45,000 miles. DO NOT use an oil or coolant

contaminated timing belt (cause of contamination must

be rectified).

Disconnect battery ground lead. Remove ancillary drive belt. See ANCILLARY DRIVE BELT . Remove

right front road wheel. Remove 3 bolts securing right splash shield to body and remove shield.

1.

Remove 3 bolts securing camshaft left rear timing belt cover and remove cover. See Fig 2 .2.

On vehicles up to 2003, remove intake manifold chamber to gain access to right rear timing belt cover.

See INTAKE MANIFOLD CHAMBER . On all models, remove 2 bolts securing right rear timing belt cover

heat shield and remove heat shield. Remove 3 bolts securing right rear timing belt cover and remove

cover. See Fig 2 .

3.

CAUTION: DO NOT use camshaft gear bolts or

on oil pump body as a timing reference.

Using a socket on crankshaft pulley bolt, rotate crankshaft in a clockwise direction. Align the engine SAFE

position notch on crankshaft pulley with the ARROW on front mounting plate and timing marks aligned on

the rear camshaft gears. See Fig 3 .

4.

CAUTION: Ensure hole immediately adjacent to

side of lower crankcase is used.

Insert Timing Pin (LRT-12-232) through hole in lower crankcase, ensuring pin is located in hole in drive

plate. See Fig 4 . Remove bolt securing Power Assisted Steering (PAS) pipe to engine front mounting

plate. Remove 3 Torx screws securing PAS pump pulley and remove pulley. Remove 3 bolts securing PAS

pump to front mounting plate, and tie pump aside.

5.

Release alternator battery lead terminal cover, loosen terminal nut and disconnect lead from terminal.

Disconnect connector from alternator. Remove lower bolt and upper nut and bolt securing alternator to

front mounting plate and remove alternator.

6.

Remove Torx screw securing idler pulley to front mounting plate, and remove the pulley. See Fig 1 .

Loosen bolt securing the lower engine steady to front subframe. See Fig 5 . Remove bolt securing lower

engine steady to sump mounting, and release lower engine steady from sump mounting.

7.

CAUTION: Ensure crankshaft does not rotate

during crankshaft pulley removal.

Remove 3 bolts securing camshaft timing belt front covers and remove covers. See Fig 1 . Assemble

LRT-12-161 to LRT-12-199 and secure with clamp bolt. Insert LRT-12-161 with LRT-12-199 into

crankshaft pulley, loosen and remove pulley bolt. See Fig 6 . Remove tools LRT-12-161 and LRT-12-199

from crankshaft pulley and remove pulley.

8.

NOTE: It is not necessary to discharge A/C

system.

Remove 3 bolts securing camshaft timing belt lower cover to cylinder block and remove cover. Remove 2

bolts securing ancillary drive belt tensioner and remove tensioner. See Figure . Note position of heat

shield on A/C compressor and remove 3 bolts securing A/C compressor to front mounting plate and

cylinder block. Release A/C compressor and heat shield and position aside.

9.

Remove bolt securing dipstick tube to cylinder block. Depress and hold down dipstick tube locking collar,

remove dipstick tube from engine sump. Remove rubber blanking plug from around camshaft front timing

belt tensioner assembly. See Fig 7 . Remove 3 bolts securing engine front mounting plate and lifting

bracket to cylinder block. Remove bolt securing lifting bracket to right cylinder head and remove lifting

bracket.

10.

Remove 2 bolts securing Intermediate Reduction Drive (IRD) support bracket to engine front mounting

plate. Remove 5 bolts and 2 pillar bolts securing engine front mounting plate to cylinder block. See Fig 1

and Fig 8 . With care, release and remove front mounting plate from engine.

11.

NOTE: If holes in body and plunger are not

aligned, move tensioner backplate using a suitable

broad bladed screwdriver; this will move plunger

sufficiently to enable pin to be inserted.

Insert a suitable 1.5-mm diameter pin through hole in tensioner body and into hole in plunger. See Fig 9 .12.

CAUTION: Exercise great care when removing

bolts, DO NOT apply excessive torque. If bolts

appear to be seized, apply suitable anti-seize

lubricant prior to removing bolts. DO NOT loosen

Allen screw securing tensioner pulley.

9 .

13.

CAUTION: DO NOT rotate crankshaft or

camshafts with timing belt removed and cylinder

heads installed.

If camshaft timing belt is to be reinstalled, mark direction of rotation on timing belt before removal. With

care, ease camshaft timing belt from gears using fingers only and remove timing belt.

14.

CAUTION: Special tools must be installed when

tightening or loosening gear retaining bolts,

otherwise damage to camshafts may occur.
