Unfasten the tensioner assembly retaining bolts, then remove the tensioner.Remove the camshaft sprocket using a three-jaw puller in the three relief holes in the sprocket.The bolt provides a surface to push against. Remove the washer from the bolt and rethread the bolt back into the camshaft by hand.Hold the intake camshaft sprocket with a suitable tool and remove the sprocket bolt and washer.If difficulty is encountered in removing the chain tensioner shoe, remove the intake camshaft sprocket, as follows.Slide a suitable prytool under the timing chain while pulling the shoe outward.ĭo NOT attempt to pry the socket off the camshaft or damage to the sprocket or chain housing could occur. The timing chain must be disengaged from any wear grooves in the tensioner shoe in order to remove the shoe. Make sure all of the slack in the timing chain is above the tensioner assembly, then remove the tensioner.
8: The chain must be in the "timed'' position - 2.3L and 2.4L engines The crankshaft sprocket keyway should point upwards and line up with the centerline of the cylinder bores. Rotate the crankshaft clockwise, as viewed from the front of engine/normal rotation, until the camshaft sprocket timing dowel pin holes line up with the holes in the timing chain housing.Remove the timing chain front cover, as outlined earlier in this section.Before attempting to remove the timing chain, read the entire procedure.
