FRONT TIMING CHAIN CASE
b. Make sure that intake and exhaust cam noses on No. 1 cylinder
(engine front side of right bank) are located as shown in the fig-
ure.
If not, turn crankshaft one revolution (360 degrees) and align
as shown in the figure.
NOTE:
When only timing chain (primary) is removed, rocker cover does
not need to be removed. To make sure that No. 1 cylinder is at
its compression TDC, remove front timing chain case first. Then
check mating marks on camshaft sprockets. Refer to EM-181,
"INSTALLATION" .
16. Remove crankshaft pulley as follows:
a. Fix crankshaft with pulley holder (SST).
b. Loosen crankshaft pulley bolt and locate bolt seating surface at
10 mm (0.39 in) from its original position.
CAUTION:
Do not remove crankshaft pulley bolt as it will be used as a
supporting point for suitable puller.
c. Place suitable puller tab on holes of crankshaft pulley, and pull
crankshaft pulley through.
CAUTION:
Do not put suitable puller tab on crankshaft pulley periph-
ery, as this will damage internal damper.
17. Remove oil pan (lower). Refer to EM-145, "
OIL PAN AND OIL STRAINER" .
18. Loosen two mounting bolts in front of oil pan (upper) in the
reverse order as shown in the figure.
19. Install oil pan (lower) temporarily.
Applying liquid gasket is unnecessary.
20. Support the oil pan (lower) bottom with jack.
Perform following operations with engine front side supported with jack.
CAUTION:
Put a piece of wood or something similar as the supporting surface, be careful not to damage oil
pan (lower).
21. Remove right and left intake valve timing control covers.

FRONT DRIVE SHAFT
5. Remove snap ring, and then remove ball cage, steel ball and
inner race assembly from shaft.
6. Remove boot from shaft.
7. Remove circular clip and dust shield from housing.
8. Clean old grease on housing with paper towels.
Wheel Side
1. Place shaft in a vise.
CAUTION:
When retaining shaft in a vise, always use copper or aluminum plates between vise and shaft.
2. Remove boot bands, and then remove boot from joint sub-assembly.
3. Screw drive shaft puller (suitable tool) 30 mm (1.18 in) or more
over the thread on joint sub-assembly, and pull joint sub-assem-
bly out of shaft.
CAUTION:
Replace entire drive shaft assembly if joint sub-assembly
cannot be removed after five or more unsuccessful
attempts.
Align sliding hammer and drive shaft and remove them
by pulling firmly and uniformly.
4. Remove circular clip from shaft.
5. Remove boot from shaft.
6. Clean old grease on joint sub-assembly with paper towels while rotating ball cage.
Dynamic Damper
Remove band. Then, remove dynamic damper from shaft.
INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY
Shaft
Check shaft for runout, cracks, or other damage. Replace if there are.
Joint Sub-Assembly (Wheel Side)
Check joint sub-assembly for rough rotation and excessive axial looseness.
Check the inside of joint sub-assembly for entry of foreign material.
Check joint sub-assembly for compression scars, cracks, and fractures inside of joint sub-assembly.
Replace joint sub-assembly if there is any of non-standard conditions of components.
Housing (Transaxle Side)
NOTE:
Housing, ball cage, steel ball, and inner race are in a set.
Housing
Check ball rolling surface for compression scars, cracks, fractures, and excessive wear.
Check boot mount for deformation.
Ball Cage
Check sliding surface for compression scars, cracks, and fractures.
Steel Ball
Check for compression scars, cracks, fractures, and excessive wear.
Inner Race
Check ball sliding surface for compression scars, cracks, and fractures.
Check serration for damage.
