Timing Belt: Removal

  1. Disconnect negative battery cable. Remove any belts and guards or shields necessary to gain access to crankshaft pulley. Remove timing belt front cover.
  2. Rotate crankshaft so timing mark on crankshaft pulley lines up with 10° BTDC mark on the timing cover. The timing mark on the camshaft sprocket will also be aligned with mark on camshaft carrier. This is the proper timing that must be maintained when the belt is reinstalled. If the belt had skipped time or was broken, align each sprocket as described. Remove crankshaft pulley.
  3. Remove timing probe holder. Loosen water pump retaining bolts and rotate water pump to loosen timing belt. Remove timing belt.
NOTE: General Motors DID NOT release a timing mark alignment illustration.
