Timing Belt, Belt Tensioner and Idler Pulley Removal and Installation

Precautions: General safety (00)

NOTICE:
•Turning high pressure pump pulley counterclockwise may cause damage to the pump.
Never turn high pressure pump pulley counterclockwise.
•After timing belt is removed, if crankshaft or camshaft is turned independently, piston and valves may interfere and hit with each other and be damaged.
Avoid turning each of the camshaft or crankshaft alone while timing belt is removed.
•Bend or twist timing belt and contact of oil or water, etc. to timing belt may adversely affect the belt life.
Do not bend or twist timing belt and do not allow contact of oil or water, etc. to timing belt.
