NO9KBBCa2. REMOVAL OF ENGINE MOUNT BRACKET
a(1) Jack up the vehicle after placing a wooden block
:.between the jack and the engine’s oil pan.
CautionJack up carefully so as not to apply an excessive
load to the various parts.
(2) Remove the engine mount bracket.
19. REMOVAL OF TIMING BELT
(1) Turn the crankshaft clockwise and align the timing
marks.Caution
The crankshaft must always be turned clockwise.
(2) Make a mark on the back of the timing belt indicating
the direction of rotation so it may be reassembled in thesame direction if it is to be reused.
(3) Loosen the bolt and tension spacer of the timing belt
tensioner.(4) Move the timing belt tensioner to the water pump side
and loosely tighten the bolt so that the tensioner
doesn’t return; then remove the timing belt.
NOTE
If the timing belt is to be re-used, use chalk to’mark (on
its flat side) an arrow indicating the clockwise direction.
Caution
1.As water or oil on the belt can seriously reduce
its usable life, ensure that the timing belt,
sprocket, and tensioner stay clean and dry whileremoved, and never wash them. Parts that haveic
*become too dirty should be replaced.
2. When any of the parts are oily, check to see
whether there are any oil leaks in any of the oil
seals or the camshaft oil seal on the front of the
engine.

30. INSTALLATION OF SPACER
(1) Apply a thin coat of engine oil to the outer circumfer-
ence of the spacer.
(2) Install the spacer with the chamfered end facing the oil
seal.
NOTEIf the spacer is installed adversely, the oil seal may be
damaged, resulting in the oil leaks.
28. INSTALLATION OF TIMING BELT “B”(1) Ensure that crankshaft sprocket “B” timing mark and
the silent shaft sprocket timing mark are aligned.
(2) Fit timing belt “B” over crankshaft sprocket “B” and
the silent shaft sprocket. Ensure that there is no slack inthe belt.+

x 38(.23 x 1.50)(3) Turn the crankshaft clockwise by two teeth of the
camshaft sprocket.
Caution
As the purpose of this procedure is to apply the
proper amount of tension on the timing belt, be
sure not to rotate the crankshaft counterclockwise
or place pressure on the belt to check the amount of
tension.(4) Apply force on tensioner toward turning direction, (in
the direction of the arrow) such that no portion of the
belt raises out in portion A, place the belt on the
camshaft sprocket such that the belt sprocket teeth arefully engaged.
(5) Tighten the tensioner installation bolt and tensioner
spacer in that order.
Caution
If the tensioner spacer is tightened first, the ten-
sioner will rotate with it and belt tension be thrown
out of adjustment. Always tighten the bolt first.(6) Check to see that the clearance between the outside of
the belt and the cover are within the standard value by
grasping the tension side (between the camshaft
sprocket and oil pump sprocket) of the centre part of
the timing belt between the thumb and index finger.
Standard value: 12 mm (.40 in.)
