Timing belt replacement, although not quite simple to do, can be done in your garage or private drive. Substituting the timing belt is more intricate than swapping a fan belt and comes with a whole lot more job. When replacing the timing belt, it is wise to replace the water pump at the same time since it is important to be removed in the operation. Know more about the best suited ways in swapping out car timing belt by practicing these procedures.

1. Separate the automobile battery and get the distributor cap. If the vehicle does not have a distributor, guarantee that the cam position sensor is Top Dead Center or TDC.

2. Flip the engine to make sure that the timing mark affixed to the crankshaft pulley is positioned in "O" mark from the timing scale. You need to turn the engine until you have aligned the index mark on the distributor casing with the distributor rotor.

3. Take away the screws, bolts, other components and belts that restrict the belt replacement. Do not forget that each belt varies and has various parts.

4. Relieve the tensioner of the belt along with the screws, but do not just remove them. Take the tensioner out of the belt, then constrain and firm up the screws to bring the tensioner in its perfect place.

5. Drift the timing belt off and take it from the engine. It should without difficulty slide off after the tensioner is slackened off.

6. Change it out with a completely new one and merely reverse these measures.

Every time undertaking replacement, you should keep in mind to read and know the manual guidelines. You should become familiar on how complex it is to twist the tensioner bolts as well as other bolts when replacing necessary car parts. In addition, you should keep the marks on the pulleys very well fixed in a line always.
