Rocker Arm (LH) Removal Note

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Mazda MPV. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE:

If the rocker arm and HLA are to be reused, mark their positions to make sure they are assembled in the original location.
Take care not to let the rocker arm slip into the timing chain cover when removing the rocker arm from engine front.

Lift the camshaft slightly.
Remove the twelve rocker arms.
