RE: [DMCForum] Re: Tell me you didn't have to take the bumper off

["Travis Goodwin" <tgoodwin@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm going by something I read in the archives. Apparently, the Hayne
manual
recommends it:

"To Service Timing Chain:
Remove muffler and with a 1/2" impact wrench ,a 12" extension bar ,an
angle 
drive and a shallow 35 or 36 mm socket, assess the pulley from beneath the

facia. Rotate pulley keyway to 12' o'clock before removing pulley. Remove 
timing cover and adjust chain as per manual direction ( see below
).Removing

the pulley nut will require 120# psi air pressure and several cycles of
air 
tank pressure.Stay with the effort as it will come off. Replace the nut
with

the same pressure and hold for 20 seconds to tighten.In the event a
shallow 
socket cannot be located, cutoff a long socket leaving 1/2" surface ."
