<< B >> Timing Belt 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.
  1. Before the timing belt is removed, align the timing marks of the camshaft sprocket and crankshaft sprocket with the Number1 at the Top Dead Center of the compression stroke.
    CAUTION: Water or oil on the belt shortens its life drastically, so the removed timing belt, sprocket, and tensioner must be kept free from oil and water. Do not immerse parts in cleaning solvent.
  2. Mark the belt running direction for reference in reinstallation.
    NOTE: If there is oil or water on any part, check the front case oil seal, camshaft oil seal, and water pump for leaks.
    NOTE: After the timing belt is removed, do not turn the crankshaft sprocket and the camshaft sprocket.
