Engine Front Cover - Removal
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable -- refer to
Section 6.
CAUTION: The crankshaft, the crankshaft sprocket
and the pulley are fitted together by friction, with
diamond washers between the flange faces on each
part. For that reason, the crankshaft sprocket is
also unfastened if you loosen the pulley. Therefore,
the engine must be retimed each time the damper is
removed. Otherwise severe damage can occur.
2. Remove and/or disconnect components to allow
access and removal of the engine front cover. Label
if necessary to allow for correct reinstallation.
3. Remove the crankshaft pulley -- Refer to“Crankshaft
Pulley - Removal” on page 8 of this section.
4. Disconnect Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor
connector.
CAUTION: A new CKP Sensor must be installed
whenever the old sensor is removed.
5. Remove the CKP Sensor and discard.
6. Remove bolt and accessory drive tensioner.
7. Remove the three bolts and the coolant pump pulley.
8. Remove three bolts and power steering pump and
set aside.
CAUTION: There is one bolt behind the cooling fan
drive pulley. This bolt can be accessed by lining up
one of the holes in the pulley with the bolt.
NOTE: The next step is only necessary if a new front
cover is being installed.
