a. Turn the crankshaft pulley and align its groove with the timing mark "0" of the No.1 timing belt cover.






b. Check that the timing marks of the camshaft timing pulleys and the No.3 timing belt cover are aligned.

If not. turn the crankshaft one revolution (360°).






16. REMOVE TIMING BELT TENSIONER
Remove the two bolts. tensioner and dust boot.

17. REMOVE TIMING BELT FROM CAMSHAFT TIMING PULLEY






HINT: (Re-using timing belt): If the installation marks have disappeared, before removing the timing belt, place new installation marks on the timing belt to match the timing marks of the camshaft timing pulleys.






a. Using SST, loosen the tension between the LH and RH camshaft timing pulleys by slightly turning the RH camshaft timing pulley clockwise.

Special Service Tool (SST): 09278-54012





b. Remove the timing belt from the camshaft timing pulleys.






HINT: (Re-using timing belt): If the installation marks have disappeared, after removing the timing belt from the camshaft timing pulleys, place new installation mark on the timing belt to match the end of the No.1 timing belt cover.

18. REMOVE CAMSHAFT TIMING PULLEYS






Using SST, remove the bolt, timing pulley and knock pin.
Remove the two timing pulleys.

SST:
RH .. 09249-63010 and 09278-54012
LH .. 09278-54012






HINT: Arrange the RH and LH pulleys.






19. REMOVE NO.2 IDLER PULLEY
Remove the bolt and idler pulley.

20. REMOVE CRANKSHAFT PULLEY






a. Using SST, remove the pulley bolt.

SST: 09213-54014 (Body)
90213-70010 (90105-08076 (Bolt) and
09330-00021






HINT: (Re-using timing belt): When the crankshaft pulley bolt is loosened, the position of the timing mark of the crankshaft pulley and the installation mark may slip, so check and align them again.






b. Using SST, remove the pulley.

22. REMOVE TIMING BELT GUIDE






23. REMOVE TIMING BELT

HINT: (Re-using timing belt): If the installation marks have disappeared, place new installation mark on the timing belt to match the drilled mark of the crankshaft timing pulley.






24. REMOVE NO.1 IDLER PULLEY
Using a 8 mm hexagon wrench, remove the bolt, idler pulley and plate washer.






25. REMOVE CRANKSHAFT TIMING PULLEY
If the pulley cannot be removed by hand, use two screwdrivers.
