Removal

NOTE: Do not loosen or remove the crankshaft pulley bolt without first installing the special tools as instructed in this procedure. The crankshaft pulley and the crankshaft timing sprocket are not keyed to the crankshaft. The crankshaft, the crankshaft sprocket and the pulley are fitted together by friction, using diamond washers between the flange faces on each part. For that reason, the crankshaft sprocket is also unfastened if the pulley bolt is loosened. Before any repair requiring loosening or removal of the crankshaft pulley bolt, the crankshaft and camshafts must be locked in place by the special service tools, otherwise severe engine damage can occur.

NOTE: During engine repair procedures, cleanliness is extremely important. Any foreign material, including any material created while cleaning gasket surfaces, that enters the oil passages, coolant passages or the oil pan can cause engine failure.

1. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist.
   Refer to: Jacking and Lifting - Overview (100-02 Jacking and Lifting, Description and Operation).
   

1. If equipped, remove the bolts and the underbody shield.
   

1. Remove the retainers and the accessory drive belt cover.
   

1. 1. Disconnect the CKP sensor electrical connector.
      
   2. Remove the 2 CKP sensor bolts and the CKP sensor.
      

Installation

1. Turn the crankshaft clockwise until the No. 1 piston is 45 degrees BTDC using the guide holes on the engine front cover and the crankshaft pulley.
   

1. Remove the engine plug bolt.
   

1. Install the Crankshaft TDC Timing Peg.
   Use Special Service Tool: 303-507  Timing Peg, Crankshaft TDC.

1. NOTE: The Crankshaft TDC Timing Peg will contact the crankshaft and prevent it from turning past TDC . However, the crankshaft can still be rotated in the counterclockwise direction. The crankshaft must remain at the TDC during CKP sensor installation.

   NOTE: The engine front cover is removed from graphic for clarity.

   Slowly rotate the crankshaft clockwise until the crankshaft contacts the Crankshaft TDC Timing Peg.
   
   • The TDC marked tooth on the crankshaft pulley will align with the center line of the CKP sensor.
     Use Special Service Tool: 303-507  Timing Peg, Crankshaft TDC.

1. NOTE: Do not tighten the CKP sensor bolts at this time.

   Install the CKP sensor and the 2 CKP sensor bolts.
   

1. Install the Crankshaft Sensor Alignment Tool.
   
   • If the Crankshaft Sensor Alignment Tool does not align with the TDC marked tooth on the crankshaft pulley, loosen the 2 CKP sensor bolts and adjust the sensor until the tool is installed.
     Install Special Service Tool: 303-1521  Alignment Tool, Crankshaft Position Sensor.
   • Tighten the CKP sensor bolts.

   Torque: 177 lb.in (20 Nm)

1. Connect the CKP sensor electrical connector.
   

1. Install the accessory drive belt cover and retainers.
   Torque: 18 lb.ft (25 Nm)

1. Install the underbody shield and the retainers.
