25. REMOVE TIMING BELT NO.3 COVER
(a) Disconnect the 3 engine wire harness clamps from the
timing belt No. 3 cover.
(b) Remove the 6 bolts and timing belt cover.
26. REMOVE CAMSHAFT
NOTICE:
Since the thrust clearance of the camshaft is small, the
camshaft must be kept level while being removed. If the
camshaft is not kept level, the cylinder head or camshaft
may be damaged. To avoid this, the following steps must
be carried out.
(a) Align the timing marks (2 dot marks) of the camshaft drive
and driven gears by turning the camshaft with a wrench.
(b) Secure the exhaust camshaft sub gear to the main gear
with a service bolt.
Torque: 5.4 NVm (55 kgfVcm, 48 in.Vlbf)
Recommended service bolt
Thread diameter6 mm
Thread pitch1.0 mm
Bolt length16 to 20 mm
HINT:
When removing the camshaft, make certain that the torsional
spring force of the sub gear has been eliminated by installation
of the service bolt.
(c) Using several steps, loosen and remove the 10 bearing
cap bolts uniformly in the sequence shown in the illustra-
tion. Remove the 5 bearing caps and camshaft.
NOTICE:
Do not pry out the camshaft.
Be careful not to damage the contact surface of the
cylinder head that receives the shaft thrust.

27. REMOVE NO.2 CAMSHAFT
(a) Using several steps, loosen and remove the 10 bearing
cap bolts uniformly in the sequence shown in the illustra-
tion. Remove the 5 bearing caps and No. 2 camshaft.
NOTICE:
Do not pry out the camshaft.
Be careful not to damage the contact surface of the
cylinder head that receives the shaft thrust.
(b) Remove the oil seal from the No. 2 camshaft.
28. REMOVE CAMSHAFT TIMING GEAR ASSY
NOTICE:
Do not remove or install the camshaft timing gear (VVT-i)
unless you are replacing the VVT-i or camshaft.
(a) Clamp the camshaft in a vise on the hexagonal lobe.
NOTICE:
Be careful not to damage the camshaft.
(b) Using a 46 mm socket wrench, remove the lock nut by
turning it clockwise.
NOTICE:
Remove it with the lock pin engaged and locked at the
most retard angle position.
The lock nut has LH threads.
Never use any tools other than the socket wrench.
Other tools will deform the cam angle rotor.
(c) Remove the camshaft VVT-i.
NOTICE:
Never remove the 3 bolts on the gear.
If it is difficult to remove VVT-i, tap it lightly using a plastic-faced
hammer, then remove it.
29. REMOVE CAMSHAFT SUB GEAR
(a) Clamp the camshaft in a vise on the hexagonal lobe.
NOTICE:
Be careful not to damage the camshaft.

(c) Using snap ring pliers, remove the snap ring.
(d) Remove the wave washer, camshaft sub gear and cam-
shaft gear bolt washer.
30. INSTALL CAMSHAFT SUB GEAR
(a) Clamp the camshaft in a vise on the hexagonal lobe.
NOTICE:
Be careful not to damage the camshaft.
(b) Install the camshaft gear bolt washer and camshaft sub
gear.
HINT:
Attach the pins on the gears to the gear bolt washer ends.
(c) Install the wave washer.
(d) Using snap ring pliers, install the snap ring.
