1. Remove the radiator cap.
   

   CAUTION:

   To avoid the danger of being burned, do not remove the radiator cap while the engine and radiator are still hot. Thermal expansion will cause hot engine coolant and steam to blow out from the radiator.

2. Drain the engine coolant by loosening the lower drain plug of the radiator and the cylinder block drain cock plugs.
   

   HINT:

   Engine coolant inside the radiator is drained from the drain hole located on the bottom of the engine under cover.

3. Tighten the cylinder block drain cock plugs.

   SST

   09213-54015   (91651-60855)
   09330-00021  
   

2. Using SST and the pulley bolt, remove the pulley.
   

   SST

   09950-50013   (09951-05010, 09952-05010, 09953-05020, 09954-05031)
   

   NOTICE:

   Before using SST, apply lubricating oil to the threads and tip of the center bolt 150.

1. Remove the 4 bolts and the timing belt cover No.1.
   

1. Disconnect the engine wire protector clamps from the timing belt No.2 cover.

1. Remove the 2 bolts, 2 nuts and engine mounting bracket RH.
   

1. Set No.1 cylinder to TDC/compression.
   
   

   1. Temporarily install the crankshaft pulley bolt and washer to the crankshaft.
      

   2. Turn the crankshaft clockwise, and align the timing mark of the crankshaft timing pulley with the oil pump body.
      

   
   
   

   3. Check that the timing marks of the camshaft timing pulleys and No.3 timing belt cover are aligned.
      If not, turn the crankshaft 1 revolution (360°).
      

   4. Remove the crankshaft pulley bolt.
      

2. If reusing the timing belt, check that there are 3 installation marks on the timing belt as shown in the illustration.
   
   

   1. If the installation marks have disappeared, put new installation marks on the timing belt before removing.
      

3. Set No.1 cylinder to approximately 60° BTDC/compression.
   
   

   1. Turn the crankshaft counterclockwise by approximately 60°.
      

      NOTICE:

      If the timing belt is disengaged, having the crankshaft pulley at the wrong angle can cause the piston head and valve head to come into contact with each other when you remove the camshaft timing pulley and camshaft, causing damage. So always set the crankshaft pulley at the correct angle.

4. Remove the timing belt tensioner.
