Power Take-Off Drive Chain

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

Key (T40049)

Locking Pin (T40071)

Locking Pin (T40069)

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






- Remove the locking bolt - arrow - for the Top Dead Center (TDC) marking from the cylinder block.






- Rotate the crankshaft in the 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 (T40069).






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

- Install the (T40069) in the hole and tighten to 20 Nm. Turn the crankshaft - 1 - back and slightly to completely center the bolt, if necessary.






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







Risk of destroying due to the 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 the bolts - 3 - and the balance shaft chain sprocket.

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

Installing

For the correct tightening specifications, refer to => [ Power Take-Off Drive Chain Overview ] Power Take-Off Drive Chain Overview.

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






Replace the O-ring for the "TDC" marking locking bolt.

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






- To protect against cuts, wrap the point and the cutting edges on a 8 mm 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 the chain tensioner bolts.

- Loosely install the 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 the (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 the drill bit - 2 - from the balance shaft.

Install in reverse order of removal paying attention to the following:

- Install the "TDC" marking locking bolt. => [ Marking Locking Bolt - Tightening Specification ] Service and Repair.

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