Hi guys,
Starting my LH cassette change Friday, and have a few points I need clarification on.
1. How do you hold the jackshaft so you can remove the bolt. Although I’ll put the harmonic balancer back on with the OTC timing tool holding it at TDC seems pressure by loosening the bolt might bend the tool.
2. I see 2 bolts recommended for torque plus 90 degree additional turn. The harmonic balancer and the jackshaft bolt. These I will replace as new.
3. The camshaft bolts should I buy new? Is there a risk using old? Also are the left hand loosen for front & rear?
4. On the timing chain is you remove the guide & tensioner is there enough slack in the chain to remove it off the sprocket?
5. How is the related LH cam sprocket which is on the jackshaft held on behind the timing sprocket? Is there a key of some sort?
