How do you replace tdc sensor for 2000 Honda Accord v6?

Answer 1

I never replace TDC sensor before but you can try by remove upper cover, turn camshaft pulley so that you can see the screws that hold tdc sensor, remove the screws and remove the tdc sensor. If you cannot be able to remove the screws behind camshaft pulley then you must remove the timing belt before you can take out the camshaft pulley to replace TDC sensor. To remove the timing belt is not an easy job, but you can do it yourself, you need tools, some tools you can loan it from autozone or o'reilly auto parts. First you need to remove two belts, alternator and steering pump belts after that you need to remove 3 covers, 2 upper cover and 1 below. But most importantly do not forget to mark on camshaft pulley before remove the timing belt, mark them all, above and on camshaft pulley (you can mark with paint) the reason you must do that because when you put them back, it gotta be exact same place, it means the mark on camshaft pulley must line up with the mark above otherwise your car will not start or even damage valves. Tools you need: Pulley holder, bracket for hydralic tensioner (you can go to dealer and ask their mechanics for free one, if you dont want to pay for it, it cost $50 or more), a vice (this vice must hold hydralic tensioner up side down before take a 10mm screw out or oil inside hydralic tensioner will come out. Using phillips screwdriver to put inside and turn until it stops and then insert the bracket to hold it down). Good luck.
