Well, it obviously depends on what type of vehicle. On almost any import there are a series of 10mm shouldered bolts that hold the front cover on place.
I am in a bind, I need to remove lower timing belt cover of 2005 Honda Pilot, there is a bolt (10mm) at the end of timing cover (1 o'clock) right under front camshaft pulley, there is only one serpentine belt for for the engine, the serpentine belt is removed, by pushing the belt adjuster, now that belt adjuster is right in front of the 10 mm bolt that holds lower timing belt cover, do I need to remove that in order to remove cover and bolt? I have tried but its not coming off?
you have to take the fan off the water pump then remove the water pump and you will see the timing belt cover it looks kind of like and oval shape you have to remove that cover and there youll have it A 95 Chevy has a timing chain not belt!
Take off the screws that hold it on?
Remove valve cover, then remove the side time belt cover. Check timing belt tension. If there's too much slack, loosen timing belt tensioner, put pressure against side of tensioner with long screwdriver, then tighten the tensioner bolt.
You'll need to take the harmonic balancer off and remove the timing cover to see it. Often you need to remove the timing belt to get it out.
the water pump runs off the timing belt....you have to remove the timing belt cover to access the water pump
The timing belt is under the front engine cover. Access is somewhat difficult. To get at the belt, you will need to remove all the accessory belts, and the A/C belt tensioner. You will need to raise the car, remove the right front wheel and splash shield for access. You will need to remove the crank pulley. This will require a special tool which you will either have to buy or fabricate, unless you have an air ratchet large enough to get the crank pulley nut off, which will be very tight. Once that is off you can remove the timing cover and get at the timing belt.
The water pump is run off of the timing belt. Remove the front cover, you will need to support the motor and take off the passenger side motor mount. With the cover off, mark the timing belt both on the crankshaft and the cam. so you can replace it without worring about the timing. Loosen the tension pully and take the belt off the water punp. Change the pump and replace the belt and cover.
Not a quick job. Timing belt covers have to come off, which means most of the stuff on the right side of the engine, including the motor mount. the water pump is driven by the timing belt - brilliant design concept NOT. start with timing belt replacement instructions....might as well change the belt while you're there. it is under the timing cover. easy to replace pump hard as hell to get to it. remove tire remove inspection panel then remove all belts then remove crank pully then remove timing cover and there it is. replace timing belt while your at it.
I am working on that now also. It would be a easy job with the motor out as you have to take off the timing cover and remove the belt. Not an easy job in the car but it can be done. Have to remove motor mount to get to timing cover
To set the timing on a Fiat Palio, first ensure the engine is off and the timing belt is in good condition. Remove the timing belt cover and align the timing marks on the crankshaft and camshaft to their designated positions. If necessary, adjust the tension of the timing belt using the tensioner. Finally, reassemble the cover, start the engine, and check for proper operation.
left front engine up, take timing belt cover off. Remove timing belt. remove bolts from water pump. but new water pump on. Set timing belt in the same position. But the timing belt and the pullies back on. Then your Finished. Looking at the repair manual this is a lot harder than it sounds because, u have to remove the motor mount to remove timing belt.
