First, take off the negative cable from the remote jumper terminal and then get the upper radiator support crossmember out. Then, remove the fan, the belt around the accessory drives and the crankshaft damper. First, remove the
Power Steering Pump from its bracket and second, take off both the tensioner pulley and the bracket holding it. Following that, loosen and remove the bolts holding the timing chain cover, then remove the cover. When installing, look over and clean each surface that needs to be sealed. Replace the gasket and seal as needed. Should you need to change a bench installed front
Crankshaft Seal, use Special Tool 6780-2 to place and shield the seal lip. Apply a 1/8 inch strip of Mopar Engine RTV GEN II oil around the edge of the
Oil Pan and along the lines where the oil pan and cylinder block are separated before fitting the timing cover gasket. Attach the timing cover and gasket, fastening both their bolts according to the specification: M10 bolts should be tightened to 54 Nm (40 ft. lbs.) and M6 bolts to 12 Nm (106 in. lbs.). If you haven't done it yet, use the package sleeve and installer for the crankshaft oil seal (Special Tool 6780-2). Place the crankshaft damper in the engine, securing it with a 170 Nm (125 ft. lbs.) tightened center bolt and then bolt the power steering pump to the bracket. Afterwards, attach the timing cover tensioner bracket and the A/C belt tensioner assembly and follow that by attaching the generator/power steering
Drive Belt tensioner pulley and bracket. Reinstall the fan module, fan drive belt, under-hood belts, upper radiator crossmember and the vehicle's negative cable.
