Replacing the timing cummerbund on a Honda CRV is not an inconsiderable engagement; it's even else galling than removing the other drivebelts. The leading problem lies in getting to the zone itself, as there are distinct other parts you'll compulsion to disconnect. Provided imaginable, changing the timing cestuses is a ball-buster chief left to a adept Car Professional.
Instructions
Accessing the Belt
1. Unplug the battery's cynical (jet) cable. Use the parking brake and block the rear wheels. Up thrust the front confine of the automobile on jack stands and remove the left (Chauffeur's side) trundle. Remove the splash shield below the engine by disconnecting its fasteners.
2. Remove the drivebelts by loosening the tensioners (rotate the tensioner bolt clockwise with a socket wrench). Unbolt and remove the capacity steering pump without disconnecting its hoses. Temporarily put the crankshaft pulley and bolt back on to turn the crankshaft until its sprocket's timing mark aligns with the pointer on the oil pump.11. Install the new belt around the crankshaft sprocket first, followed by the tensioner pulley, the water pump pulley and the camshaft sprocket.12.
4. Position the engine's digit one piston at its top down centre position as described in Intersect 2.
5. Disconnect the camshaft position sensor and the side engine mount bracket so you can remove the upper timing girdle subsume. Loosen the crankshaft pulley bolt with a socket and breaker bar, and remove the pulley from the crankshaft to remove the lower girdle subsume. Remove the crankshaft position sensor.
Top Down Center
6. Remove the Glimmer plugs from the engine. Remove Everyone ignition coil by disconnecting its electrical connector and removing its mounting seed. Account a ratchet with a Glimmer plug socket to remove the plugs from the engine. Install a compression gauge into cylinder numeral one's Glimmer plug gap.
7. Disable the fuel course. Remove the Gauze cap, remove the engine contain and loosen the pulsation damper by a filled turn.
8. Attach a ratchet or breaker bar and socket to the bolt on the crankshaft. Turn the crankshaft until compression registers on the gauge. Slowly turn the crankshaft again until the top down centre dent aligns with the pointer on the timing belt cover.
Changing the Belt
9. Loosen the timing belt's tensioner bolt on the center pulley with the socket and breaker bar. Push on the tensioner to release the tension and slip the belt off the pulleys.
10. Make sure the sprockets are in the right position. Align the camshaft sprocket so the part with the word "up" is at the 12 o'clock position. Disconnect and remove the alternator and the valve insert.3. Agency the engine with a floor jack, placing a wood block on the jack to prevent malicious the pan. Remove the engine mount bracket on the upper left side
Loosen the tensioner's mounting bolt with a 180-degree turn so the tensioner can slightly tension the belt. Turn the crankshaft counterclockwise two full times and check its timing marks and the camshaft sprocket's index marks to make sure everything is aligned. Insert a 0.12-inch diameter pin into into the tensioner pulley's holes and tighten the mounting bolt to 33 foot-pounds.
13. Remove the pin from the pulley and install all the other parts in the reverse order of removal. Adjust the drivebelts as necessary, tighten the fuel pulsation damper with new sealing washers and reconnect the battery.
