Remove the right front wheel. 2. Partially remove the engine splash shield (CR-V) or undercover (Accord) as necessary to gain access to the chain case cover. Secure the splash shield or undercover out of the way. 3. Remove the cam chain case cover. Page 2 of 5 4. Clean the chain case cover and the chain case. 5. Turn the crankshaft counterclockwise until the cam chain auto-tensioner is compressed. Page 3 of 5 6. Turn the crankshaft counterclockwise to line up the holes on the lock and the cam chain auto-tensioner, then insert a 1.2 mm (3/64 in)-diameter pin into the holes. Turn the crankshaft clockwise about 90 degrees to secure the pin. Remove the cam chain auto-tensioner, and be careful not to drop the bolts into the timing case. NOTE If the holes in the lock and the cam chain auto-tensioner do not line up, keep turning the crankshaft counterclockwise until they do, then install the pin. 7. Remove the cam chain auto-tensioner filter and inspect for damage. • If the filter is not damaged, clean it with brake cleaner. Do not use a fabric or shop towel to clean the filter. This will leave lint and foreign particles in the filter screen. • If the filter is damaged, install a new filter onto the new cam chain auto-tensioner. 8. Install the new cam chain auto-tensioner with filter, and torque the bolts to 12 N∙m (9 lb-ft). Then, remove the pin. Page 4 of 5 9. Make sure the case cover mating surfaces are dry.
