1. Remove the A/C refrigerant using approved equipment.
2. Remove or disconnect the following:
   
   
   Negative battery cable

   Right front wheel and inner splash shield

   Accessory drive belts

   Crankshaft damper

   Lower torque strut

   Exhaust system from the manifold

   A/C compressor switch

   Upper torque strut and bracket

   Upper radiator support crossmember

   Power steering pump and bracket without disconnecting the lines

   Right engine mount through bolt after supporting the engine

   Engine support bracket
3. Rotate the crankshaft until the Top Dead Center (TDC) mark on the oil pump housing aligns with the TDC mark on the crankshaft sprocket.
4. Install an Allen wrench into the tensioner. Rotate the tensioner counterclockwise while pushing on the wrench until it slides into the locking hole.
5. Remove the timing belt.

2. Set the camshafts timing marks so that the exhaust camshaft sprocket is a ¹/ ₂ notch below the intake camshaft sprocket.
3. Install the timing belt by starting at the crankshaft. Go around the water pump sprocket idler pulley, camshaft sprockets and the tensioner.
4. Move the exhaust camshaft sprocket counterclockwise to align the marks and to remove any slack.
5. Remove the wrench from the belt tensioner.
6. Rotate the crankshaft two full revolutions and verify that the TDC marks are properly aligned.
7. Install or connect the following:
   
   
   Lower timing belt cover and torque the bolts to 40 inch lbs. (4.5 Nm)

   Upper timing belt cover and torque the bolts to 40 inch lbs. (4.5 Nm)

   Right engine support bracket and reposition the power steering pump. Torque the bracket bolts to: 45 ft. lbs. (61 Nm).

   Right engine mount through bolt and torque it to 87 ft. lbs. (118 Nm)

   Upper radiator support crossmember

   Torque strut bracket

   Upper torque strut

   A/C lines and pressure switch

   Exhaust system to the manifold

   Crankshaft damper

   Accessory drive belts

   Lower torque strut

   Right splash shield and wheel

   Negative battery cable
8. Recharge the A/C system.
9. Perform the camshaft/crankshaft synchronization procedure.

These details will help.
