2. To unscrew the camshaft pulley mounting bolt, secure the camshaft before turning either by the camshaft pulley or by the camshaft grooves with a wrench.
3. Remove the bolt and pulley from the end of the camshaft. On 1.6L engines, the intake and exhaust camshaft pulleys are different. The camshaft pulley that controls the exhaust valves should be identified by the lugs that activate the camshaft position sensor. On 1.8L and 2.0L models, both pulleys are the same.

Installation
Camshaft pulleys
Warning: When installing the camshaft pulleys, new bolts must be used.
1. Before installing the pulleys, check the oil seal ring for wear or damage and replace if necessary.
2. Check that the timing pulley is in the camshaft seat.

3. On 1.6L models, align the groove on the pulley with the locating pin and secure the pulley with the bolt.
4. On 1.8L and 2.0L models, the pulleys have two dowel pin grooves. If the pulley is installed on an intake camshaft, the dowel pin is located in the groove marked IN. And if the pulley is installed on an exhaust camshaft, the dowel pin is installed in the groove marked EX.

5. Correctly install the pulleys on the camshafts and secure them with bolts, tightening them to the required torque. At the same time, secure the camshaft with a wrench to prevent it from turning.
6. Install the timing belt and install the cylinder head cover.
