4.2.6.1. Removal of a gear belt

THE GENERAL DATA

---

The prevention

At removal and installation of a gear belt position of the water pump, therefore through a sealing ring of the water pump probably course of a cooling liquid will change. In this case it is desirable to remove the water pump completely and to establish it with a new sealing ring.

PERFORMANCE ORDER

1. Unscrew bolts (on early models) or release скобы (on later models) and remove a casing of a gear belt. 2. A wrench for a bolt of fastening of a pulley of a cranked shaft turn a cranked shaft of the engine in such position that the piston of the first cylinder was established in the ignition moment. Thus the label on a pulley of a cranked shaft should be combined with the index on a casing of the oil pump and the label on a camshaft pulley should be combined with the index on a cover of a head of the block of cylinders (label Combination see a pulley of a cranked shaft with the index on the oil pump, fig. label Combination on a pulley of a camshaft with the index on a cover of a head of the block of cylinders). 3. Loosen the bolts of fastening and generator adjustment, move the generator to the engine and remove auxiliary приводной a belt. If necessary for access improvement to a pulley of a cranked shaft unscrew connecting nuts and disconnect pipes of an oil radiator from the filter case. 4. On models with engines 1,3, 1,4 and 1,6 (16 SV and C16 NZ) unscrew a bolt of fastening of a pulley of a cranked shaft without проворачивания a cranked shaft. For prevention проворачивания a cranked shaft on models with a mechanical transmission include any transfer and tighten a manual brake. Also it is possible to remove a protective plate in the basis of a flywheel and the big screw-driver or mount to fix a flywheel from проворачивания. Remove a pulley from a cranked shaft. 5. On models with engines 1,6 (16 SH) 1,8 and 2,0 l unscrew four bolts, which крепят a pulley of an auxiliary belt to a pulley of a gear belt. Remove a pulley. 6. On all models merge cooling liquid from cooling system. 7. On l models 1,4 (since June, 1990) and 1,6 l (16 SV and C16 NZ) with the spring automatic mechanism of a tension of a gear belt fix the tension mechanism in the taken away position. 8. For this purpose move clockwise the lever of the indicator of the mechanism of a tension before aperture combination in a basic plate and the lever and fix the tension mechanism in this position by a suitable core (1 – the lever of the mechanism of a tension of a gear belt, 2 – a basic plate, 3 – an aperture for blocking). 9. On all models ослабьте three bolts, which крепят the water pump. Access to bolts is possible through an aperture in a basic plate of a gear belt. 10. Turn the water pump and ослабьте a tension of a gear belt. For turn of the water pump use шлицы, located for a pulley of the water pump. Using a marker or a paint, note a direction of rotation of a gear belt and remove it from pulleys. 11. The new or reusable gear belt should not be overwound or polluted oil or lubricant.
