the lower timing cover
(3).IMPERATIVE: The magnetic track should show no signs of damage
and should not be approached by any other source of magnetism.
Reposition the screw (2).
Remove tool [3].
Rotate the engine by means of the crankshaft pinion screw (2)(clock
wise), to bring it to the pegging position.
Position the tool [4].
Peg the crankshaft pinion (1), using tool [5].

area «b».
Check the correct positioning of index «a».
Remove tools [4]and [5].
Rotate the engine ten times.Fit the tools
[4]and [5].

NOTE:The pegging hole is located under the crankshaft bearing cap cover.
Peg the engine flywheel, using tool
[3].
Remove the lower timing cover (3).
Uncouple the exhaust line from the manifold.
IMPERATIVE: Uncouple the exhaust line in order to avoid damaging the front flexible pipe. Twisting,
pulling and bending the front flexible pipe reduces its life.
Remove:
The engine speed sensor (6).
The belt retaining stop (5).
The screw (2).
The crankshaft pinion (4)(with its magnetic track «a»).
IMPERATIVE: The magnetic track should show no signs of damage and should not be approached
by any other source of magnetism.Should this not be adhered to,it is essential to replace the crank
shaft pinion.
Refit the screw (2).
