<< A >> Timing Chain TENSIONER Removal

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CAUTION: Securely install the plunger of the timing chain tensioner. Otherwise, it may pop out.

Press the balancer timing chain against the timing chain tensioner, compress the plunger of the timing chain tensioner and insert hard wire (piano wire, etc.) or L-shaped hexagon wrench (1.5 mm [0.05 inch]) to fix the plunger of the timing chain tensioner.
Remove the timing chain tensioner.
