Remove damper from crankshaft using Crankshaft Damper Remover 303-009 (T58P-6316-D) and Vibration Damper Remover Adapter 303-176 (T82L-6316-B).

1 Locate the crankshaft pulley on your vehicle. This is usually on the driver's side, but may be on the passenger's side if your timing belt is located on the passenger's side. Place the end of the tire wrench over the lug nuts of the appropriate wheel of your vehicle and turn the wrench about 45 degrees. 2 Put your emergency brake on. Then use the floor jack to jack up the vehicle's front jack point (an extension of the frame).3 Put the jack stands under the frame of the vehicle. Then, lower the vehicle onto the jack stands. 4 Continue to loosen and remove the lug nuts, and pull the wheel off.5 Remove the plastic rivets that hold the splash guard in place in the wheel well. To do this, you need to wedge the screwdriver in between the rivets and the splash guard and pry them out.6 Locate the crankshaft pulley. It will be right behind the splash guard you just removed.7 Remove the crankshaft bolt using the crankshaft bolt remover tool. Place the tool over the crank pulley bolt in the center of the pulley. This device prevents the pulley from rotating while you loosen the bolt.8 Place the socket end of the impact wrench over the crankshaft bolt remover tool. Set the impact rench to turn counterclockwise and turn on your air compressor. Wait until the compressor is fully charged. Then, work the bolt loose. It may take a while as this bolt normally requires in excess of 800 ft lbs of torque to remove.9 Attach the arms of the crankshaft pulley removal tool over the pulley and tighten the tool to the pulley using the tool's supplied bolts. Continue to tighten the tool using the bolts until the crankshaft pulley is pulled off the crankshaft.

10. Install the accessory drive belt and tighten by following the instructions in Section 1.
11. Install the splash shield and front wheel.
12. Lower the vehicle to the ground.

look for timing marks????
Align groove of crankshaft timing pulley with mark on oil pump.
Align the marks on the camshaft timing pulleys with the corresponding dots on the front plate. (i can email pic if needed)
When timing marks are aligned, no pistons will be on T.D.C.
install timing belt. Align the dotted alignment mark on the timing belt with the mark on the crankshaft gear.
For correct belt installation, the letters the belt must be able to be read as viewed from the front of the vehicle. It is recommended for easy installation that the belt be secured with double clips after it is installed to each pulley. Align the alignment mark (white line) on the timing belt with the alignment mark on the RH bank camshaft timing pulley (on the left side as viewed from the front of the vehicle Secure the belt with a double clip.
Align the alignment mark (white line) on the timing belt with the alignment mark on the RH bank camshaft timing pulley (on the left side as viewed from the front of the vehicle Secure the belt with a double clip.
Turn the crankshaft counterclockwise to remove the belt slack between the crankshaft timing pulley and the RH bank camshaft timing pulley.
Install the belt on the water pump pulley. Remove double clips from pulleys. Turn the crankshaft pulley clockwise by two turns. Measure the rod protrusion to ensure it is within the standard. Standard 4-6 mm (0.16-0.24 in)


13) If out of standard, remove pusher, loosen adjusting bolt, and readjust. (Repeat from step 11). Tighten adjusting bolt to the specified torque. Torque 42 N-m (31 lb-ft)

1. Pusher

• Tighten bolt to the specified torque.

Torque 19 N-m (19 lb-ft)

1. Timing belt cover

• Remove crankshaft pulley that was installed in step 9.
• Tighten bolts to the specified torque.

Torque 17 N-m (12 lb-ft)

1. Oil cooler hose

• Tighten oil cooler hose bracket bolts to the specified torque.

Torque 22 N-m (16 lb-ft)

1. Crankshaft pulley assembly

• Using special tool J-8614-01, hold the crankshaft pulley.
• Tighten center bolt to the specified torque.

Torque 167 N-m (123 lb-ft)

1. Crankshaft pulley; P/S belt

• Tighten fixing bolt to the specified torque.

Install the belt on the idler pulley.

No. As both the water pump pump pulley and crankshaft pulley both partially cover the timing belt cover, they have to be removed to get the timing belt cover and the timing belt off. The only bolt you DON'T need to undo (unless you want to change the front crankshaft oil seal), is the centre bolt holding the crankshaft timing belt sprocket on. Only the surrounding 4 or 5 bolts need to be removed so the crankshaft pulley can be removed.

Ignore smart a$$ comments.
