Power Take-Off Drive Chain






Power Take-Off Drive Chain

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

Key (T40049)

Locking Pin (T40071)

8 mm diameter drill bit

Removing

Transmission removed.

- Remove timing chain lower cover. Refer to => [ Lower Timing Chain Cover ] Lower Timing Chain Cover.




The drive chain could be destroyed.

Place a washer under the bolt heads to prevent the bolts from pinching the drive chain.

- Install Key (T40049) at the rear of the crankshaft using two old drive plate bolts - arrows -.





- Remove locking bolt - arrow - for the "TDC" marking from the cylinder block.





- Rotate crankshaft in direction of engine rotation to "TDC".

The crankshaft locating hole is difficult to find when the engine is installed.

Rotate the engine until the small notch - 1 - on the vibration damper aligns at the left of the housing separation point - 2 - between the cylinder block and the guide frame. This makes it easier to install the Locking Pin (T40069).





The marking on the vibration damper is only there to help. The exact "TDC" location is only reached by installing the Locking Pin (T40069).

- Install the Locking Pin (T40069) in the hole and tighten to 20 Nm. Turn the crankshaft back slightly to completely center the bolt, if necessary.





- Press chain tensioner guide rail in direction of - arrow - and secure chain tensioner using a Locking Pin (T40071).






Risk of destroying due to reversed running direction on a used drive chain.

Mark the drive chain running direction with arrows using paint for installation later. Do not mark the chain using a punch, notch or similar.

- Remove bolts - 3 - and the balance shaft chain sprocket.

- Remove bolts - 1 - and - 2 - and the chain tensioner with the drive chain.

Installing

Tightening specifications => [ Timing Mechanism Drive Chain Assembly Overview ] Timing Mechanism Drive Chain Assembly Overview, => [ marking locking bolt - tightening
specification ] Crankshaft Assembly Overview.

Secure crankshaft - 1 - in "TDC" position using Locking Pin (T40069).





- Install the chain tensioner with the drive chain and balance shaft chain sprocket.

- To protect against cuts, wrap the point and the cutting edges on an 8 mm diameter drill bit with insulating tape.

- Secure the balance shaft in the "TDC" position using an 8 mm diameter drill bit - 2 -.





The slots in the balance shaft sprocket must be at the middle position in relation to the threaded holes of the balance shaft. If necessary, adjust chain by one tooth.

- Tighten chain tensioner bolts.

- Loosely install chain sprocket bolts - 1 - and - 3 -.

It must still be possible to rotate the chain sprocket on the balance shaft and it must not tip.

- Remove Locking Pin (T40071) to release the chain tensioner.

- Press against the chain tensioner guide rail - arrow - using a screwdriver while tightening the chain sprocket bolts - 1 - and - 3 -.

- Remove drill bit - 2 - from the balance shaft.

The rest of installation is in reverse order of removal, note the following:

- Install timing chain lower cover. Refer to => [ Lower Timing Chain Cover ] Lower Timing Chain Cover.

- Fill engine oil and check the oil level. Refer to => [ Engine Oil, Checking Level ] Testing and Inspection.
