Air ratchet or wrap timing chain around gear and clamp with a vice grip the chain together to hold it still . Air tool is best if there is room to get to it .

In the past I have had to use a 1 inch impact to brake that bolt loose. It is a monster and it is regular thread. If you dont have a big compressor and super impact I have held the engine a made a breaker bar and broke it loose that way and make sure to keep spraying it.

How do i remove the camshaft sprocket bolt on a 1993 nissan maxima 3.OL?
A cheat that works every time. Disconnect your spark plug leads, fit the socket and breaker bar to the sprocket bolt and rest the end of the bar on the chassis rail or frame (turn the breaker bar and socket on the sprocket bolt as if you're trying to undo the bolt until it makes contact with a part of the car that won't be damaged and maybe rest a rag under it) Turn the ignition key on and off rapidly 1-2 times and the torque from the starter motor will be more than sufficient to undo the bolt.

I changed water pump in 1998 maxima !! Can you help me identify the location of the timing mark on crankshaft sprocket ??
Remove the three bolts retaining the upper chain guides and lift it from the cylinder head.

To allow access to the camshaft sprocket bolts, unbolt the upper timing chain cover and carefully pry the cover away from the cylinder head

Set the number one piston at TDC on the compression stroke by aligning the timing marks on the crankshaft damper.
zjlimited_1907.jpg

Fig. 6: The number one cylinder is at TDC when the timing marks are aligned as shown (clikc image for zoom)



Check that the mating marks on the sprockets are aligned as shown in the illustration. If not, the crankshaft should be rotated another 360°.

zjlimited_1908.jpg

Fig. 7: It may be helpful to paint marks on the chain and sprockets if the marks are not easily visible
Remove the camshaft position sensor. Mark the position of the sensor before removal to help keep the ignition timing correct.

How do I change the Serpentine belt on my 2001 Hyundai Accent?
Thank you for the inquiry.
Let's try this procedure:
1) Raise and support the front of the car on jack stands. Remove the passenger-side tire/wheel assembly, using a lug wrench. Remove the inner splash shield to gain access to the crankshaft pulley, using a 10-mm socket. Remove the accessory belts by loosening the tensioner with a wrench.
2) Remove the water pump pulley, using a socket. Remove the crankshaft pulley bolt, using a ½-inch drive socket followed by the pulley. Remove the upper and lower timing belt covers, using a 10-mm socket.
3) Insert the crankshaft pulley bolt back into the nose of the crankshaft so the engine can be turned. Turn the engine clockwise until the timing mark on the crankshaft sprocket and block are aligned and the camshaft sprocket hole and mark on the camshaft-bearing cap are aligned. There is a dot on the crankshaft sprocket and a corresponding dot on the block at the one o'clock position. There is a hole in the camshaft sprocket, which is at the 12 o'clock position. A dot can be seen through the hole in the camshaft sprocket when it is vertical and lined up perfectly.
4) Loosen the two bolts in the timing belt tensioner and pry the tensioner away from the timing belt, using a screwdriver. While holding the tensioner away from the belt, loosely tighten the two bolts to hold the tensioner in its current position. Remove the timing belt.
5) Install the new timing belt, starting on the right side opposite the tensioner. Start at the crank and work up and over the camshaft sprocket, keeping tension on the right side or opposite the tensioner. Loosen the bolts on the tensioner and allow the tensioner to apply pressure to the belt.
6) Rotate the engine two times clockwise and re-align the timing marks. If the marks align perfectly, tighten the two bolts in the belt tensioner. If they do not align, turn the crank or cam sprocket to align and re-install the belt. Replace the remainder of the parts in reverse order of removal.
I hope we've provided you useful assistance and that this information allows you to proceed from here. Please be sure to vote on my response.
I hope I've earned a good rating from you today.
Please post a comment if you need additional assistance so that I can help you further.
