TIMING BELT REMOVAL
(1) Turn the crankshaft in the forward direction (t o the right)
to align the camshaft sprocket timing marks.
Caution
Always turn the crankshaft in the forward direction
only.
(2) Loosen the tension pulley center bolt.
(3) Move the tension pulley to the water pump side, and
then remove the timing belt.
Caution
If the timing belt is to be reused, use chalk to ma rk
