* J 44217 Timing Chain Tensioner Tool
* J 45059 Angle Meter

Removal Procedure




1. Remove the camshaft cover.
2. Remove the upper timing chain guide bolts and guide.
3. Install a 24 mm wrench onto the hex on the camshaft in order to hold the camshaft.
4. Loosen, but DO NOT remove the intake camshaft actuator bolt.





Important: Ensure that the tips of the J 44217 are fully engaged into the timing chain.

5. Install one of the tools (1) from the J 44217 to the exhaust camshaft side of the timing chain assembly in order to retain the timing chain. Firmly tighten the nuts.





Important: Ensure that the tips of the J 44217 are fully engaged into the timing chain.

6. Install one of the tools (1) from the J 44217 to the intake camshaft side of the timing chain assembly in order to retain the timing chain. Firmly tighten the nuts.





Important: Ensure that the timing chain and the camshaft position actuators are marked for proper assembly.

7. Mark the intake and exhaust camshaft actuators and the respective locations on the timing chain.
8. Install a 24 mm wrench onto the hex on the camshaft in order to hold the camshaft.
9. Remove and discard the intake camshaft actuator bolt (2).
10. Remove the intake camshaft actuator (3) from the camshaft while also removing the actuator from the timing chain.

Installation Procedure





Important: Ensure that the alignment mark made previously on the exhaust camshaft actuator is still aligned properly with the mark on the timing chain.

1. Install the timing chain onto the intake camshaft actuator.
2. Align the intake camshaft actuator alignment mark made previously with the timing chain mark and install the actuator onto the camshaft.
3. Install a NEW intake camshaft actuator bolt (2) until snug.




4. Remove the tool (1) from the intake camshaft side of the timing chain assembly.




5. Remove the tool (1) from the exhaust camshaft side of the timing chain assembly.
6. Install a 24 mm wrench onto the hex on the camshaft in order to hold the camshaft.

Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice.

7. Tighten the NEW camshaft actuator bolt.

Tighten the bolt to 85 N.m (63 lb ft), plus an additional 30 degrees using the J 45059.




8. Install the upper timing chain guide and bolts.

Tighten the bolts to 10 N.m (89 lb in).

9. Install the camshaft cover.
