For separating the timing chain (10), the following tools from the rivet press tool are required:

Basic carrier (1)

Grab handle

Mount (C1)

Thrust piece (C2)

Protect timing case recess against falling small parts using clean rag and if applicable, remove any small parts that have fallen in.

Engine damage can occur otherwise.

3. Insert mount (C1) in basic carrier (1) and insert thrust piece (C2) in spindle (2).
4. Insert timing chain (10) in rivet press tool so that the outside links of the timing chain (10) are on the side of the tensioning rail after separation.

   If the old timing chain (10) is separated somewhere else, it is not possible to install the new timing chain (10).

5. Screw in spindle (2) until thrust piece (C2) is in contact with the timing chain (10).

   Ensure that the thrust piece (C2) is in contact with the clinch bolt of the chain link to be separated.

   Otherwise, damage to chain link will occur.

6. Screw in spindle (2) and push out and remove clinch bolt of timing chain (10).
7. Unscrew spindle (2) and remove rivet press tool.

   When removing thrust piece (C2), ensure that the timing chain (10) does not fall into the timing case recess.
