WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
CAUTION:
- Use fender covers to avoid damaging painted surfaces.
- To avoid damage, unplug the wiring connectors carefully while holding the connector portion.
NOTE:
Mark all wiring and hoses to avoid misconnection.
- Remove the engine cover.
- Disconnect the battery negative terminal.
- Remove the air cleaner assembly.
(Refer to ENGINE AND TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY )
- Remove the RH front wheel.
(Refer to REPAIR PROCEDURES )
- Remove the under cover.
(Refer to ENGINE AND TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY )
- Turn the crankshaft pulley and align its groove with the timing mark of the timing chain cover to set the piston of No. 1 cylinder to the top dead center on compression stroke.
- Disconnect the exhaust OCV (Oil Control Valve) connector (A) and then remove the wiring from the cylinder head cover.
- Disconnect the PCV (Positive crankcase ventilation) hose (A).
- Disconnect the ignition coil connectors (A) and then remove the wiring protector (B).
- Remove the ignition coils (A).
- Remove the cylinder head cover (A).
- Remove the water pump drive belt (A).
- Put the SST (09252-3D100) between the crankshaft pulley and the drive belt.
- Rotate the crankshaft pulley clockwise. Then the drive belt is removed.
- Remove the drive belt.
- Insert a stopper pin (B) on the drive belt #1 tensioner after rotating the arm (A) counterclockwise.
- Remove the drive belt (D) after rotating the drive belt #2 tensioner arm (C) clockwise.
- Remove one side bolt (A) and two lower bolts (B) on the A/C compressor.
- Remove the A/C compressor bracket (A).
- Drain the engine oil.
- Remove the oil pan (A). Insert the blade of SST (09215-3C000) between the ladder frame and oil pan. Cut off applied sealer and remove the lower oil pan.
NOTE: Loosen one oil pan bolt near each corner of the oil pan leaving the bolts held in by about 2 threads. Then remove all other pan bolts.NOTE:
- Insert the SST between the oil pan and the ladder frame by tapping it with a plastic hammer in the direction of (1) arrow.
- After tapping the SST with a plastic hammer along the direction of (2) arrow around more than 2/3 edge of the oil pan, remove it from the ladder frame.
- Do not turn over the SST abruptly without tapping. It is result in damage of the SST.
- Be careful not to damage the contact surfaces of ladder frame and lower oil pan.
- Set the jack to the edge of ladder frame.NOTE: Put the wooden block between ladder frame and jack.CAUTION: Be careful not to damage the balance shaft & oil pump module.
- Disconnect the ground line (A), and then remove the engine mounting support bracket (B).
- Remove the crankshaft pulley (A) and the idler (B).
- Remove the water pump pulley (A) and the dust cover (B).
- Remove the engine support bracket (A).
- Remove the timing chain cover (A) by gently prying the portions between the cylinder head and cylinder block.
CAUTION: Be careful not to damage the contact surfaces of cylinder block, cylinder head and timing chain cover.
- Make sure that the key of crankshaft is aligned with the mating surface of main bearing cap. As a result of this, the piston of No. 1 cylinder is placed at the top dead center on compression stroke.
- Release the ratchet using a thin rod. Compress the piston and then insert a stopper pin (A) into the hole on the ratchet to hold the compressed piston. Remove the timing chain tensioner (B).
- Remove the timing chain tensioner arm (A).
- Remove the timing chain (A).
- Remove the timing chain guide (A).
- Remove the timing chain oil jet (A) and the crankshaft chain sprocket (B).
- Remove the balance shaft chain.
