Timing Belt: Removal

CAUTION: Rotate the crankshaft clockwise and align the timing marks to set the No. 1 cylinder's piston to TDC.
At this time, the timing marks of the camshaft sprocket and cylinder head cover should coincide with each other and the dowel pin of the camshaft-sprocket should be at the upper side.

Remove the crankshaft pulley, engine coolant pump pulley and drive belt.
Remove the timing belt cover.
Remove the auto tensioner.

NOTE: If the timing belt is reused, make an arrow mark indicating the turning direction (or the front of the engine) to make sure that the belt is reinstalled in the same direction as before.
In this case the timing marks on the camshaft sprocket and on the locker cover should be aligned and the dowel pins on the camshaft sprockets should be positioned upward.
Remove the timing belt.
