1. Remove timing chain. Refer to " «REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION»(ref-675577-S36953346832014120500000) "
2. Remove camshaft sprocket (EXH) (1). CAUTION: Hold the camshaft hexagonal part (A), and then secure the camshaft. Do not rotate crankshaft and camshaft separately, so as not to contact valve with piston. NOTE: The timing chain with the front cover installed is not disengaged from the crankshaft sprocket and it is not dropped into the front cover. Therefore, the timing chain tension holding device is not necessary.
3. Turn the camshaft sprocket (INT) to the most advanced position. CAUTION: Installation and removal of the camshaft sprocket (INT) must be done in the most advanced position. Make sure to follow the procedure exactly. The sprocket (C) and vane (camshaft coupling) (B) are designed to spin and move within the range of a certain angle. With the engine stopped and the vane in the most retarded angle, it will not spin because it is locked to the sprocket side by the internal lock pin (A). If the camshaft sprocket bolts are turned in the situation described above, the lock pin will become damaged and cause malfunctions because of the increased horizontal load (cutting force) on the lock pin. Put the camshaft sprocket (INT) in the most advanced position: Remove camshaft bracket (No. 1) (1). NOTE: Timing chain is present only for illustration purposes. Timing chain is to be removed during removal procedure. Loosen the bolts in several steps, and then remove them. Apply the following air pressure to the No. 1 journal oil hole (A) of camshaft (INT) (1) shown using an air gun. Air pressure: 300 kPa (3.1 kg/cm 2 , 44 psi) or more Apply the air pressure into the oil hole on the second groove from the front of camshaft thrust (B). Proceed all the way through step "e" with the air pressure on. Attach the rubber nozzle narrowed to the top of the air gun to prevent air leaks from the oil hole (A). Securely apply the air pressure to the oil hole. WARNING: Eye protection should be worn as needed. CAUTION: There are other oil holes in the side grooves. Do not use the incorrect oil holes. Be sure not to damage the oil path with the tip of the air gun. Wipe all the oil off the air gun to prevent oil from being blown all over along with the air, and the area around the air gun should be wiped with a rag when applying air pressure. NOTE: The air pressure is used to move the lock pin into the disengage position. Hold the camshaft sprocket (INT) with hands, and then apply the power counterclockwise/clockwise alternately. Finally rotate the sprocket of the camshaft sprocket (INT) counterclockwise [the direction shown by the arrow ( (<==)]. Perform the work while continuously applying the air pressure to the oil hole. If the lock pin is not released, tap the camshaft sprocket (INT) lightly with a plastic hammer (A) using suitable tool. If the camshaft sprocket (INT) is not rotated counterclockwise even if the above procedures are performed, check the air pressure and the oil hole position. While doing the above, once you hear a click (the sound of the internal lock pin disengaging) from inside the camshaft sprocket (INT), start turning the camshaft sprocket (INT) in the counterclockwise direction in the most advanced angle position. Keep the air pressure on. If there is no click, as soon as the vane side (camshaft side) starts moving independently of the sprocket, the lock pin has become disengaged. Check that it is in the most advanced angle position by seeing if the stopper pin groove (A) and the stopper pin hole (B) are matched up as shown in the figure. Stop applying air pressure and release the camshaft (INT). Insert the stopper pin (A) into the stopper pin holes in the camshaft sprocket (INT) and lock in the most advanced angle position. CAUTION: No load is exerted on the stopper pin (spring reaction, etc.). Since it comes out easily, secure it with tape (B) to prevent it from falling out. NOTE: The stopper pin shows one example of a hexagonal wrench for 2.5 mm (0.098 in) [length of inserted section: approximately15 mm (0.59 in)].
4. Remove the camshaft sprocket (INT): Keeping the camshaft hexagonal part (A) in place using suitable tool, loosen the bolts for the camshaft sprocket (INT) (2). CAUTION: Do not drop stopper pin. Tape (C) the stopper pin (B) so it does not come out. Do not subject it to impact by dropping. Do not disassemble. [Do not loosen the three bolts (A)]. NOTE: While removing the camshaft sprocket (INT), if you have taken out the stopper pin and the lock pin has been rejoined in the most retarded angle, do the following to restore it. Install the camshaft (INT) and tighten the bolts enough to prevent air from leaking out. CAUTION: The internal lock pin will get damaged, so keep the torque on the bolts to the minimum required to prevent air from escaping. Apply the air pressure, disengage the lock pin, and turn the vane to the most advanced angle position. Insert the stopper pin. Remove camshaft sprocket (INT) from the camshaft.
5. Remove camshaft brackets (No. 2 to 5). Loosen bolts in several steps in the reverse order as shown in the figure. NOTE: The camshaft bracket (No. 1) has been already removed.
