REMOVAL
1.Remove the engine cover.
2. Remove the front right wheel and tire.
3. Remove the right side cover.
4. Remove the drive belt(A), the idler(B) and the tensioner(C).
In removing the drive belt, fix a tool in the auto tensioner pulley bolt and turn the bolt counter clockwise.
5. Remove the timing belt upper cover(A).
6.Align the groove of the pulley with the timing mark of the timing belt cover by turning the crankshaft pulley
clockwise. Check if the timing mark of the camshaft sprocket is aligned with that of the cylinder head cover at the
moment.
(No.1 cylinder piston at TDC)
7.Remove the engine mounting bracket(A).
Page 24 of 1575
Sustain the engine oil pan with a jack.
(1)
Put a wooden or rubber block between the jack and the engine oil pan.
8. Remove the crankshaft damper pulley(A).
9.Remove the timing belt lower cover(A).
10. Remove the engine support bracket(A).
Page 25 of 1575
After the removal, engine coolant can be drained a little from that point(B) which is a matter of no importance.
11. Remove the timing belt auto tensioner(A).
12.Remove the timing belt(A).
Make a direction mark of revolution on the timing belt for reusal.
13. Remove the tensioner arm assembly(A) and the idler(B).
Page 26 of 1575
14.Remove the crankshaft sprocket.
INSTALLATION
1.Install the crankshaft sprocket.
2. Install the tensioner arm assembly(A) and the idler(B).
Tightening torque
Tensioner arm bolt : 34.3 ~ 53.9Nm(3.5 ~ 5.5kgf.m, 25.3~ 39.8lb- ft)
Idler pulley bolt : 49.0 ~ 58.8Nm(5.0 ~ 6.0kgf.m, 36.2~ 43.4lb- ft)
3.Install the timing belt auto tensioner.
(1) Fixing the tensioner with a vice and compressing the rod, insert a set- pin.
a.Handle the auto tensioner in the vertical position.
b. If it is treated by laying, tilting or turning over, stand it vertically for about five minutes in order for air to
move upward.
c. Do not pull the pin out before its installation to the engine assembly because pulling the pin can cause
noise of timing system by making aiir go in the high pressure chamber.
