NOTE: With the timing chain tensioner unlocked,
insert the special tool MB992103 along the ten-
sion side of the valve timing chain, according to
the special tool MB992103 top shape. The special
tool MB992103 can be inserted smoothly to the
position where the special tool MB992103 inser-
tion guideline aligns with the timing chain case
assembly top surface (B in the figure), and the
spread timing chain tension side guide can be
hold (C in the figure).

3. With the special tool MB992103 inserted up to the

insertion guide line, press the special tool
MB992103 against the inlet side camshaft
sprocket and spread and hold the timing chain
tension side guide.

4. Remove the precision flat-tipped screwdriver

unlocking the timing chain tensioner.

CAUTION

The valve timing chain may be bitten by other
parts. After sagging the valve timing chain, never
rotate the crankshaft.
