REMOVAL SERVICE POINTS

<<A>> CRANKSHAFT PULLEY REMOVAL

CAUTION

Use only the specified special tools, or a damaged pulley
damper could result.
Use special tools MB990767 and MD998715 to remove the
crankshaft pulley from the crankshaft.

<<B>> TIMING BELT REMOVAL

CAUTION

Never turn the crankshaft counterclockwise.
1. Turn the crankshaft clockwise to align each timing mark and

to set the number 1 cylinder to compression top dead center.

2. If the timing belt is to be reused, chalk an arrow on the flat

side of the belt, indicating the clockwise direction.

3. Loosen the center bolt of the tensioner pulley, then remove

the timing belt.

INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS

>>A<< AUTO-TENSIONER INSTALLATION
1. While holding the auto-tensioner with your hand, press the

end of the pushrod against a metal surface (such as the
cylinder block) with a force of 98

−

196 N (22

−

44 pound)

and measure how far the pushrod is pushed in.

Standard value: Within 1 mm (0.04 inch)
A: Length when no force is applied
B: Length when force is applied
A

−−−−

B: Amount pushed in

2. If it is not within the standard value range, replace the auto-

tensioner.

CAUTION

•

Place the auto-tensioner perpendicular to the jaws of
the vice.

•

If there is a plug at the base of the auto-tensioner, insert
a plain washer onto the end of the auto-tensioner to
protect the plug.

3. Place two blocks in a vice as shown in the illustration, and

then place the auto-tensioner in the vice.

CAUTION

Never compress the pushrod too fast, or it may be
damaged.
4. Slowly compress the pushrod of the auto-tensioner until pin

hole A in the pushrod is aligned with pin hole B in the
cylinder.

5. Insert the setting pin into the pin holes once they are

aligned.

NOTE: If replacing the auto-tensioner, the pin will already be
inserted into the pin holes of the new part.

CAUTION

Do not remove the setting pin from the auto-tensioner.
6. Install the auto-tensioner to the engine.
