14. REMOVE TIMING BELT FROM CAMSHAFT TIMING
PULLEY
HINT (When re±using timing belt): Place the match±
marks on the timing belt and camshaft timing pulley,
and place matchmark on timing belt to match the end
of the No.1 timing belt cover.
15. REMOVE CAMSHAFT TIMING PULLEY
Using SST, remove the bolt, plate washer and timing
pulley.
SST 09249±63010 and 09278±54012(b) Check that the hole of the camshaft timing pulley is
aligned with the timing mark of the bearing cap.
If not, turn the crankshaft one revolution (360'*).
(a) Loosen the mounting bolt of the No.1 idler pulley and
shift the pulley toward the left as far as it will go, and
temporarily tighten it.
(b) Remove the timing belt from the camshaft timing
pulley.

HINT (When re±using timing belt): After loosening
the crankshaft pulley bolt, check that the timing belt
matchmark aligns with the end of the No. 1 timing belt
cover when the crankshaft pulley groove is aligned
with the timing mark ª0º of the No. 1 timing belt cover.
If the matchmark does not align, align as follows:
When matchmark is misaligned counterclockwise:
wAlign the rnatchmarks by pulling the timing belt up
on the No.1 idler pulley side while turning the
crankshaft pulley clockwise. When matchmark is misaligned clockwise:
wAlign the matchmark by pulling the timing belt up
on the water pump pulley side while turning the
crankshaft pulley counterclockwise.
wAfter aligning the matchmark, hold the timing
belt, turn the crankshaft pulley clockwise, and
align its groove with timing mark ª0º of the No.1
timing belt cover. 16. REMOVE CRANKSHAFT PULLEY
(a) Using SST, remove the pulley bolt.
