ASSUMPTIONS - Taking radiator/hoses & Fan/shroud out would be very advisable. Also take out the air intake box to make access to some of these components easier. If you can't do this then stop and take your car to a mechanic lol
10
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT - Disconnect the negative terminal of the BatteryIf you can't do this then stop and take your car to a mechanic lol

10Power steering pump
- No need to take it out, just remove 3 bolts and Swing it to the side 		https://youtu.be/4dO8KW1-NQs?t=4803x14mm 4in boltshttps://youtu.be/zRPhl1xcYYw?t=1023

You do not need to take the alternator out like Timmy's video shows - Just move it out of your way
21
1110. Alternator - Slide it off & Swing it to the side as well
- Disconnect negative terminal of battery 1st - 		https://youtu.be/4dO8KW1-NQs?t=5112x 14mm upper and side nut, 1x 14mm 4.5in bolt bottomhttps://youtu.be/zRPhl1xcYYw?t=1129

You do not need to take the alternator out like Timmy's video shows - Just move it out of your way

12#2 Timing Cover - Upper left/middle plastic coverhttps://youtu.be/4dO8KW1-NQs?t=591 - 2 x 12mm 4in bolts https://youtu.be/zRPhl1xcYYw?t=1799
23
13Tensioner - slides off studs https://youtu.be/4dO8KW1-NQs?t=6002x12mm nuts (top and midlower left), 1x12mm 4in bolt
24
14Unplug Cam Position sensor - Right side and remove rubber grommethttps://youtu.be/4dO8KW1-NQs?t=635
25
15Right Cam Gear plastic cover (Drivers Side Timing Cover) with cam position sensor wire fishinghttps://youtu.be/4dO8KW1-NQs?t=6714x12mm 1.5in nuts (already took the acorn nut out with coolant hose pipe step 4 above)https://youtu.be/zRPhl1xcYYw?t=1573
26
16Remove Fan bracket -

Remove AC comp front 2 Side bolts
- 2x14mm 4in Top and bottom front bolts (see pics)
https://youtu.be/4dO8KW1-NQs?t=710

https://youtu.be/4dO8KW1-NQs?t=726 (Ac bolt locations)

https://youtu.be/4dO8KW1-NQs?t=745 (Back bolt location - DO NOT TAKE IT OUT - Just loosen it)+

https://youtu.be/4dO8KW1-NQs?t=799 (top front bolt location)		2x14mm bolts on front side of AC compressor, LOOSEN only back bolt 1x14mm on ac compressor rear
(Front 2 x bolts on AC comp front (Front AC - Top & Bottom - Make sure you do not remove the AC bracket bolt which is close to the front bottom bolt)

(for me it was easier to take drivers tire off and through that side space using Small/medium Swivel socket remove both the bottom front ac bolt and loosen the back bolt)

Just keep bolts/nuts together on the fan bracket here to track them - TOO many bolts and nuts hear to track, 12mm and 14mm here		Remove Alternator - https://youtu.be/zRPhl1xcYYw?t=1230

Remove Fan Bracket - https://youtu.be/zRPhl1xcYYw?t=1838
27
17 --ONLY Loosen the back AC compressor bolt to pivot AC compressor

This gives you enough room to take out fan bracket		https://youtu.be/4dO8KW1-NQs?t=745-- Only loosen rear bolt 1 x bolt to pivot AC (I accessed this bolt from driver side opening by remove the driver side tire) this is still a PITA but can be done. Use Small/medium Swivel socket

- unplug the ac connector & bend bracket to take it out		https://youtu.be/zRPhl1xcYYw?t=1230
28
18HERE YOU ALIGN THE ENGINE to TDC (Top Dead Center)

Please check with your Model and Year how to align this as it is different per certain years and engine variation (vvti etc)

Please see TDC Info Sheet		https://youtu.be/4dO8KW1-NQs?t=950crankshaft bolt - 22mm socket on to move TDC - This has to be aligned depending on your Year the TDC arrow has to be pointed differently

- First rotate it to crankshaft mark to 0 on the timing cover mark.
- Ensure the marks align with 0 and 2 camshaft mark lines (NOT with T) if not aligned move it another rotation to get the 0 (timing cover & crankshaft) and lines aligned on 2 camshaft gears and camshaft cover
- then for 2000-2001 LC move crankshaft another 50 deg to so crankshaft mark aligns with middle bolt of the red pulley- https://youtu.be/4dO8KW1-NQs?t=1024		https://youtu.be/zRPhl1xcYYw?t=2279
29
19Remove Crankshaft pulleyhttps://youtu.be/4dO8KW1-NQs?t=1068 - Ensure you are still aligned with the Crankshaft mark so your valve and such are aligned

- Use Impact wrench gun or similar to take the crank bolt out (check alignment before fulling taking it out)

- I used a wd40 or similar oil to spray in the middle where the bolt is of the crank pulley and let it sit for few minutes, Then used short wooden 2x4 and hammer and hit the crank pulley at different angles to get it lose. Keep at it, its not the fastest method. You may have to do this a few times to work. But unless you live in a Rust Zone it would work. 		https://youtu.be/zRPhl1xcYYw?t=2044

20Remove camshaft timing plastic coverhttps://youtu.be/4dO8KW1-NQs?t=12304x10mm boltshttps://youtu.be/zRPhl1xcYYw?t=2202
31
21Remove timing sensor guide plate https://youtu.be/4dO8KW1-NQs?t=1267it is concave when removed so ensure it’s the same position with putting it back inhttps://youtu.be/zRPhl1xcYYw?t=2234
32
22Removing Plastic Trianglehttps://youtu.be/4dO8KW1-NQs?t=1296my car did not have this - Ensure Timing belt is still aligned properly
33
23Remove the Hydraulic timing belt tensionerhttps://youtu.be/4dO8KW1-NQs?t=13322x12mm bolts from the bottom - loosen them evenly https://youtu.be/zRPhl1xcYYw?t=2787

24Remove Timing belt offhttps://youtu.be/4dO8KW1-NQs?t=1417
35
25Remove Idler pulley #2 (Red one)https://youtu.be/4dO8KW1-NQs?t=14371x14mm bolthttps://youtu.be/zRPhl1xcYYw?t=3022
36
26Remove Tensioner Idler Pulley #1 black - above timing belt tensionerhttps://youtu.be/4dO8KW1-NQs?t=1485 10mm hex - MAKE SURE YOU GET the WASHER and kept it safe
37
27Slide the Timing belt pulley offhttps://youtu.be/4dO8KW1-NQs?t=1518

28Remove Cam Sensor triggerhttps://youtu.be/4dO8KW1-NQs?t=15621x12mm nut top , 1x12mm long stud bottom lower hold of sensor
39
29Remove Water Pump - need to twist/wiggle it out at times https://youtu.be/4dO8KW1-NQs?t=1549too many bolts/nuts to keep track, so just take it out and keep the nuts and bolts on old water pump. And put while putting in new water pump just transfer bolt/nuts from old to new pumphttps://youtu.be/zRPhl1xcYYw?t=3152
