To make turning the engine easier, remove the spark plugs/glow plugs or injectors.
Observe all tightening torques.
Do not turn the engine using the camshaft or any other sprocket.
Disconnect the battery earth lead (check Radio code is available).
Do not use cleaning fluids on belts, sprockets or rollers.
Some toothed timing belts are not interchangeable. Check the replacement belt has the correct tooth profile.
Always mark the belt with the direction of running before removal.
Do not lever or force the belt onto its sprockets.
Do not use timing pins to lock the engine when slackening or tightening the crankshaft pulley bolts.
