REMOVAL SERVICE POINTS

<<A>> TIMING BELT REMOVAL

CAUTION

Water or oil on the belt shortens its life drastically, so the
removed timing belt, sprocket, and tensioner must be kept
free from oil and water. These parts should not be washed
or immersed in solvent. Replace parts if contaminated. If
there is oil or water on any part, check the front case oil
seal, camshaft oil seal, and water pump for leaks.
1. Mark the belt running direction for reinstallation.
2. Loosen the tensioner pulley bolt, and then remove the timing

belt.

<<B>> CAMSHAFT SPROCKET REMOVAL

1. While holding the camshaft sprocket with special tools

MB990767 and MD998715, loosen the camshaft sprocket
bolt.

2. Remove the camshaft sprocket.

INSTALLATION SERVICE POINT

>>A<< CAMSHAFT SPROCKET INSTALLATION

1. Fit the camshaft sprocket to the front end of the camshaft.
2. While holding the camshaft sprocket with special tools

MB990767 and MD998715, tighten the camshaft sprocket
bolt.

Tightening torque: 88

± 10 N⋅m (65 ± 7 ft-lb)

>>B<< CRANKSHAFT SENSING
BLADE/CRANKSHAFT SPACER/CRANKSHAFT
SPROCKET INSTALLATION

1. Clean the hole in the crankshaft sprocket.
2. Clean and degrease the mating surfaces of the crankshaft

sprocket, sensing blade, and spacer.
NOTE: Degreasing is necessary to prevent decrease in fric-
tion on the mating surfaces.

3. Align the location of pin and pin hole, and then apply equal

force in the direction of the arrow.

CAUTION

Do not bend the sensing blade when installing sprocket.
4. Install the crankshaft sprocket to the crankshaft.

>>C<< AUTO-TENSIONER INSTALLATION

If the auto-tensioner rod is fully extended, reset it as follows:
1. Clamp the auto-tensioner in the vise with soft jaws.
2. Push in the rod little by little with the vise until set hole A in

the rod is aligned with hole B in the cylinder.

3. Insert a wire [1.4 mm (0.055 inch) in diameter] into the set

holes. This auto-tensioner setting wire will be used during
timing belt alignment.

4. Unclamp the auto-tensioner from the vise.

>>D<< TIMING BELT INSTALLATION

CAUTION

Do not turn the camshaft when the piston in No.1 cylinder
is at top dead center on the compression stroke. Doing so
can cause the lifted valve to hit against the piston, damag-
ing parts.
1. Install special tool MD998769 and the crankshaft pulley

washer, and then tighten the crankshaft bolt.

2. Align the timing mark on the crankshaft sprocket with the

timing mark on the oil pump case, and then rotate the
sprocket three teeth counterclockwise.
