For 1990-2009 cars

### Removal Procedure

Caution: Unless directed otherwise, the ignition and start switch must be in the OFF or LOCK position, and all electrical loads must be OFF before servicing any electrical component. Disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent an electrical spark should a tool or equipment come in contact with an exposed electrical terminal. Failure to follow these precautions may result in personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or its components.

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the air cleaner assembly.
3. Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle in General Information.
4. Remove the six clips and the right side splash shield.
5. Use the following procedure in order to remove the air conditioner compressor drive belt (if equipped):

5.1. | Release the tensioner pulley.

5.2. | Remove the belt from the crankshaft and the compressor pulleys.

6. Lower the vehicle.
7. Loosen the adjusting bolt on the upper generator mounting bracket.
8. Remove the coolant pump/generator drive belt from the vehicle.
9. Raise the vehicle.
10. Remove the two bolts that secure the flywheel inspection cover.
11. Remove the flywheel inspection cover.
12. Lock the crankshaft, for vehicles with a manual transaxle, by accessing the flywheel through the square hole (1) as shown.
13. Lock the crankshaft, for vehicles with an automatic transmission, by locking the flywheel (1) as shown.

Important: If the engine is in the vehicle, the crankshaft timing sprocket bolt (2) must be removed. The crankshaft timing pulley can then be removed. It is not necessary to loosen the crankshaft timing sprocket bolt at the center, if the engine is out of the vehicle.

14. Remove the five crankshaft timing pulley bolts (3) and the crankshaft timing pulley (1) from the vehicle.

### Installation Procedure

1. Install the crankshaft timing pulley (1). Fit the keyway on the pulley to the key on the crankshaft timing sprocket.

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

2. Secure the five crankshaft timing pulley bolts (3) and/or the crankshaft timing sprocket bolt (2) (if removed).

• | The crankshaft

• | The coolant pump

• | The generator pulleys

4. Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle in General Information.
5. Install the generator cover plate.
6. Install the two generator cover plate bolts.
