multimedia:A supplement to the article is available.
CAUTION:
Do not rotate the crankshaft using the damper bolt. The bolt has left-hand threads and can be inadvertently loosened resulting in loss of camshaft timing. Only rotate the damper itself in a clockwise direction (as viewed from the front).
REMOVAL
- Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to HOISTING, STANDARD PROCEDURE .
- Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable.
- Remove the belly pan. Refer to BELLY PAN, REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
- Remove the accessory drive belt. Refer to BELT, SERPENTINE, REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
- Remove the vacuum pump. Refer to
PUMP, VACUUM, REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
.
- Remove the lower gearbox bolts (1a) and remove the dust shield (1b).
- Using the (Special Tool No. 2069100090, Holder, Front Damper 3 Pin), rotate the crankshaft clockwise (as viewed from the front) and install the (Special Tool No. 2063500090, Locking, Camshaft) timing tool (1a) on the vacuum pump mounting surface while positioning the pin (1b) in the camshaft hole (1c) and securely tighten the bolts.
- Remove the bolt (1a) and move the support bracket (1b) with the pipes out of the way.
- Disengage the clip (1a) from the frame rail (1b) and move the pipe (1c) aside.
- Install the (Special Tool No. 2063600090, Pin, Flywheel Locking) timing tool through the crankcase and into the flexplate.NOTE:
