How do you change the timing belt on a 1999 dodge stratus and how do you replace the pin?
Keep the owner's manual handy throughout repair. Disconnect the negative batter cable, and remove the distributor cap, if the car has one. Use a wrench to rotate the engine until the timing mark on the crankshaft pulley is aligned with a 0 on the timing scale. Verify the distributor rotor is aligned with the index mark on the distributor housing, which indicates the rotor is in position to fire the number one cylinder. Remove any components that will interfere with the removal of the timing belt cover, and remove also the bolts or screws holding the timing cover in place. Remove the cover from the engine. Check for proper alignment of the crank and camshaft timing marks. Check carefully the area around the belt for signs of oil leakage from the seals, valve cover, and oil pan. Loosen the timing belt tensioner and the mounting bolts holding it, but do not remove the tensioner. Pivot the spring loaded tensioner away from the belt and then retighten the mounting bolts to hold the tensioner in the loose position. Examine the tensioner pulley for damage like dents or cracks. Spin the pulley and listen for a rattle or hum that would indicate worn or loose bearings. With the tension on the belt relieved, the belt should slide easily off the sprockets. When reassembling, pay attention to the torque limits outlined in the manual.
