NOTE-
Mark direction of belt rotation if reusing belt.
- Remove vibration damper mounting bolts and remove vibra-
tion damper and pulley from hub.
NOTE- The M52
6-cylinder engine uses a 2-piece vibration damper
and hub assembly.
4 Install crankshaft holder (BMW special tools 11 2 150
and11 2410).
NOTE
-
Be careful while aligning locator pin hole in special tool 11 2
410 with vibration damper locatorpin.
- While counterholding crankshaft, loosen and remove crank-
shaft center bolt.
CAUTION-
Do not use flywheel locking tool to hold crankshaft stationary
to loosen or tighten crankshaft hub center bolt Use only the
special tools specified, or equivalent hub holding tool.
NOTE- The cranlshaft hub center bolt is torqued to 4
10 Nm
(300
ft-16).
- Remove damper hub and special tools.
4 Install cap (BMW special tool 11 2 383) on end of cranltshaft.
4 Install seal guide (BMW special tool 11 2 385) over end of

- Installation is reverse of removal noting the following:
Installing drive belts. See 020 Maintenance.
Install cooling fan. See 170 Radiator and Cooling Sys-
tem.
Crankshaft oil seal, replacing
(M52 TU and M54 engines)
The crankshafl front seal IS located in the lower timing cover,
behind the
vibrat~on damper.
- Disconnect negative (-) cable from battery.
Disconnecting the battery may erase fault
code(s) storedin
control module memoy Checlc for fault codes using spe-
cial
BMW diagnostic equipment.
Prior to disconnecting the battery, read the battery dis-
connection cautions given in
001 General Cautions
and Warnings.
- Remove splash guard from beneath engine
- Remove engine cooling fan assembly. See 170 Radiator
and Cooling System.
NOTE- Cooling fan nut
(32 mm wrench) has left-hand threads.
- Remove drive belts. See 020 Maintenance
NOTE-
Mark direction of belt rotation if reusing belt.
- Install crankshaft holding tool (BMW special tool 11 8 19011 1
8 200). Make sure tool locks into place in openings in damper
assembly. While counterholding crankshafl with special tool,
remove crankshaft center bolt.
CAUTIOI\C
Do not use flywheel locling tool to hold crankshaft station-
ary to loosen or tighten
cranl(shaft hub center bolt. Use
only the special tools specified, or equivalent hub holding
tool.
Use care when removing
damper/hub assembly, as ~t is
easy to damage the radiator

- Remove flywheel locking tool from transmission bellhousing
so that crankshaft is no longer locked.
- Remove camshaft locking tools from rear of cylinder head.
- Crank engine over twice by hand in direction of rotation until
cylinder
1 intake and exhaust camshaft lobes face each other - again.
- Secure crankshaft with BMW special tool 11 2 300.
4 Place BMW special tool 11 3 240 over camshaft ends and
measure clearance of tool to cylinder head surface.
NOJE-
If the exhaust side of the tool (A) is not flush with the head,
camshaft timing
Is incorrect. Repeat camshaft timing pro-
cedure.
* Due to flexible sprocket design and VANOS control unit tol-
erances and play, the
intake side of special tool 11 3 240
(6) may be up to 1 mm (0.04 in) above the sudace of the
cylinder head. This is normal. Otherwise, repeat camshaft
timing procedure.
