primary chain tensioner and te nsioner blade, to take up
the slack in the chain.

7. Tighten the exhaust camshaft sprocket securing bolt.
1. Fit the chain tensioner tool 303 - 532 to the sprocket holes.
Apply force to the tool in an anti-clockwise direction to
tension the chain on its drive side.
2. Whilst applying the opposing force to the sprocket and chain, tighten the sprock et securing bolt to 115 -
125 Nm.

8. Tighten the VVT unit securing bolt.
1. Whilst still applying the opposing force to the
sprocket and chain (using 303 - 532), check that the
wedges are still in place, tighten the VVT unit
securing bolt to 115 - 125 Nm.
Remove the chain tensioning tool and the wedge(s).
9. Remove the camshaft locking tool 303 - 530.
10. Raise the vehicle on the ramp.
11. Remove the crankshaft setting tool 303 - 531.

12. Refit the crankshaft position sensor.
1. Fit the sensor to the fl ywheel housing and fit the
securing bolt. Tighten to 8-12 Nm.
2. Refit the access grommet to the housing.
13. Lower the ramp.
14. Refit the A-Bank VVT Bush Carrier Assembly. Refer to
operation 12.65.51 in this Section.
15. Refit the Timing Cover. Refer to Operation 12.65.01 in this
Section.

3. Disconnect the brake servo hose.

60. Fit engine rear lifting eyes (303 - 536).
61. Traverse the hoist to the engine compartment and lower it to
working height.
62. Fit lifting chains to the hoist and connect to each engine
lifting eye. Use longer chains to the rear lifting eyes to allow
the engine to tilt rearwards wh en removing from the vehicle.

63. Remove the engine front mounting nuts.
64. Raise the ramp.

65. Disconnect the transmission connector.
1. Release the lever lock on the transmission harness
multi-plug.
2. Disconnect the connector.
66. Disconnect the transmission selector cable.

1. Remove the nut which secures the selector lever to
the transmission cross shaft.
2. Remove the selector cable abutment bolts.
3. Disconnect the selector arm from the cross shaft.

67. Loosen the bolt which secures the engine rear mounting
rubber to the transmission.

68. Position a transmission jack e.g. Epco V100 and raise the
support bed of the jack to take the weight of the transmission.
Fit and adjust the chains to secure the transmission to the jack.


69. Remove the engine rear mounting assembly.
Remove the mounting centre bolt.
Remove the four bolts which secure the crossmember to
the body.
Remove the crossmember and mounting assembly.
70. Release the engine and tran smission assembly from the
engine compartment.
Take the weight of the engine / transmission with the
hoist and move it towards th e front of the vehicle.
Lower the transmission jack slightly to release the
securing chains. Remove the ja ck from below the vehicle.

Align th
e engine front mountings and fit the securing nuts.
Tighte

n to the stated torque value.
3. Operate the crane controls and the ramp simultaneously (with
assistance) to raise the vehicle to a convenient working height.

4. Po
sition the transmission jack and raise it to take the weight of
the transmission. Fit and adjust the chains to secure the
transmission to the jack.

5. Fit th
e engine rear mounting bracket.
Fi

t the four bolts which secu
re the crossmember to the
body.
