TIRE ROTATION
# See Figures 137 and 138
Tires must be rotated periodically to equalize wear
patterns that vary with a tire’s position on the vehicle.
Tires will also wear in an uneven way as the front

cle might have any kind. Aftermarket blades and arms
rarely use the exact same type blade or refill as the
original equipment. Here are some typiel aftermarket
blades; not all may be available for your vehicle:
The Anco@ type uses a release button that is
pushed down to allow the refill to slide out of the
yoke jaws. The new refill slides back into the frame
,
and locks in place.
Some Trico@ refills are removed by locating where
the metal backing strip or the refill is wider. Insert a
small screwdriver blade between the frame and metal
backing strip. Press down to release the refill from
the retaining tab.
Other types of Trico@’ refills have two metal tabs
which are unlocked by squeezing them together. The
rubber filler can then be withdrawn from the frame
iaws. A new refill is installed bv insertina the refill lowed to touch the olass steering/suspension system wears to the point where
the alianment should be reset.

Common sense and good driving habits will af-
ford maximum tire life. Fast starts, sudden stops
and hard cornering are hard on tires and will
shorten their useful life span. Make sure that you
don’t overload the vehicle or run with incorrect
pressure in the tires. Both of these practices will in-
crease tread wear.
*For optimum tire life, keep the fires prop
eriy inflated, rotate them often and have the
wheel alignment checked periodically.
Inspect your tires frequently. Be especially care-
ful to watch for bubbles in the tread or sidewall,
deep cuts or underinflation. Replace any tires with
bubbles in the sidewall. If cuts are so deep that they
penetrate to the cords, discard the tire. Any cut in
the sidewall of a radial tire renders it unsafe. Also
look for uneven tread wear patterns that may indi- Rotating the tires will ensure maximum life for the
tires as a set, so you will not have to discard a tire
early due to wear on only part of the tread. Regular

jnto the front frame jaws and &ding it rearward to
engage the remaining frame jaws. There are usually
four jaws; be certain when installing that the refill is
engaged in all of them. At the end of its travel, the
tabs will lock into place on the front jaws of the wiper
blade frame.
Another type of refill is made from polycarbonate.
The refill has a simple locking device at one end
which flexes downward out of the groove into which
the jaws of the holder fit, allowing easy release. By
sliding the new refill through all the jaws and push-
ing through the slight resistance when it reaches the
end of its travel, the refill will lock into position.
To replace the Tridon@ refill, it is necessary to re-
move the wiper blade. This refill has a plastic backing
strip with a notch about 1 in. (25mm) from the end.

1. Position the engine so the No. 1 cylinder is at
TDC of its compression stroke.
2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
Wait at least 90 seconds after the negative
battery cable is disconnected to prevent pos-
sible deployment of the air bag.
3. Remove the engine undercover.
4. Remove the front undercover panel.
5. Remove the cruise control pump and the link
assembly.
6. Remove the alternator.
7. Raise and suspend the engine so that force is
not applied to the engme mount,
8. Remove the timing covers from the engine.
9. If the same timing belt will be reused, mark
the direction of the timing belt’s rotation for installa-
tion in the same direction. Make sure the engine is
positroned so the No. 1 cylinder is at the TDC of its
compression stroke and the timing marks are aligned
with the engine’s timing mark indicators on the valve
covers or head. 10. Loosen the center bolt of tensioner pulley and
unbolt auto-tensioner assembly The auto-tensioner
assembly must be reset to correctly adjust belt ten-
sion. Remove the timing belt.
11. Using a wrench, hold the camshaft at its
hexagon and remove the camshaft sprocket bolt.
12. Remove and position the auto-tensioner into
a vise with soft jaws. The plug at the rear of tensioner
protrudes, be sure to use a washer as a spacer to
protect the plug from contacting vise jaws.
13. Slowly push the rod Into the tensioner until
the set hole rn rod is aligned with set hole in the
auto-tensioner.
14. Insert a 0.055 in. (1.4mm) wire into the
aligned set holes. Unclamp the tensioner from the
vise and install it on the engine. Trghten tensroner to
17 ft. Ibs. (24 Nm).
15. Clean and inspect both auto tensioner
mounting bolts. Coat the threads of the old bolts with
thread sealer. If new bolts are installed, Inspect the
heads of the new bolts. If there is white paint on the
bolt head, no sealer is required. If there is no parnt on
the head of the bolt, apply a coat of thread sealer to
the bolt. Install both bolts and tighten to 17 ft. Ibs.

To install: 16. Install the tensioner, if removed, and hook the
upper end of the spring to the water pump pin and
the lower end to the tensioner in exactly the same po-
sition as originally installed. 17. Ensure both camshafts are still positioned so
the timing marks align with those on the rear timing
covers.
18. Rotate the crankshaft so the timing mark
aligns with the mark on the front cover.
19. Install the timing belt on the crankshaft
sprocket and while keeping the belt tight on the ten-
sion side, mstall the belt on the front (left) camshaft
sprocket.
20 Install the belt on the water pump pulley, then
the rear (right) camshaft sprocket and the tensioner.
21. Loosen the bolt that secures the adjustment
of the tensioner and lightly press the tensioner
against the timing belt.
22. Check that the timing marks are in alignment.
23 Rotate the crankshaft 2 full turns in the clock-
wise direction only, then realign the timing marks,

CHASSIS ELECTRICAL 6-7
When working on any electrical component on the
vehicle, it is always a good idea to disconnect the
negative (-) battery cable. This will prevent potential
damage to many sensitive electrical components
such as the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), radio,
alternator, etc.
*Any time you disengage the battery cables,
it is recommended that you disconnect the negative (-) battery cable first. This will pre-
vent your accidentally grounding the positive
(+) terminal to the body of the vehicle when
disconnecting it, thereby preventing damage
to the above mentioned components.
Before you disconnect the cable(s), first turn the
ignition to the OFF position. This will prevent a draw
on the battery which could cause arcing (electricity
trying to ground itself to the body of a vehicle, just
like a spark plug jumping the gap) and, of course, damaging some components such as the alternator
diodes.
When the battery cable(s) are reconnected (nega-
tive cable last), be sure to check that your lights,
windshield wipers and other electrically operated
safety components are all working correctly. If your
vehicle contains an Electronically Tuned Radio (ETR),
don’t forget to also reset your radio stations. Ditto for
the clock.

1. Before servicing the vehicle, refer to the pre-
cautions in the beginning of this section.
2. Position the front wheels in the straight-ahead
position and place the key in the LOCK position. Re-
move the key from the ignition lock cylinder.
3. Disconnect the negative battery cable and in-
sulate the cable end with high-quality electrical tape
or similar non-conductive wrapping.
4. Wait at least one minute before working on the
vehicle. The air baa svstem is desianed to retain
enough voltage to deploy the air bag for a short pe-
riod of time after the battery has been disconnected.
