Timing Belt Rear Cover Removal Procedure?

The Details mentioned in this chapter is for  Cadillac Carter car models.

Catera 2000-2001 Timing Belt Rear Cover replacing details with complete details and required diagrams are as follows:----

NOTE

This procedure requires the use of a torque angle meter, special tool J36660A or equivalent and a timing belt adjustment kit, special tool J42069 or equivalent.

CAUTION

Never open, service or drain the radiator or cooling system when hot; serious burns can occur from the steam and hot coolant. Also, when draining engine coolant, keep in mind that cats and dogs are attracted to ethylene glycol antifreeze and could drink any that is left in an uncovered container or in puddles on the ground. This will prove fatal in sufficient quantities. Always drain coolant into a sealable container. Coolant should be reused unless it is contaminated or is several years old.

1. Drain the coolant.
2. Remove the intake air resonator.
3. Remove the front timing belt cover.
4. Remove the timing belt. 
   
   WARNING

   As a precaution, rotate the crankshaft counterclockwise to the 60 degrees BTDC position to prevent valve/piston contact.

11. Install the timing belt idler pulley bolt and tighten the timing belt idler pulley bolt until snug. After the final timing belt adjustment are made the bolt will be tightened to specifications.
12. Install the timing belt tensioner bracket.
13. Install the timing belt tensioner bracket bolts and tighten to 30 ft. lbs. (40 Nm).
    
    NOTE

    Install the numbered camshaft gear slots on the correct camshaft alignment pins, so that the reference marks (1, 2, 3 and 4) are aligned with the notches on the rear timing belt cover. Install the camshaft gears.
    
    
    
    WARNING

    Use a new camshaft gear bolt. The required tightening method will stretch the bolt, therefore the bolt is not reusable.
