Thanks for the video! I just replaced the timing belt and water pump on my 2008 4.0 T&C. Best of all. I bought this car 2 years ago. The car needed a lot of work because my friend bought a new Pacifica, so he put the T&C at the mechanic and forgot about it for over a year. (All brakes to be done, humming front hubs, whining transmission). Of course I asked when the timing belt and water pump were replaced. He replied that around 70k miles, and the car had about 132,000 miles. after the purchase and repairs, I drove 29,000 miles. A few weeks ago I asked again and he said he never replaced them because the previous owner did! It turned out that the timing belt had 161,000 miles! I used an 80 mm long M12 bolt with a nut and a large washer to install the harmonic balancer wheel. I mounted the wheel, screwed the set with the bolt into the hole in the shaft. Then it was enough to immobilize the bolt with one wrench and screw the nut with the other to press the wheel into place. It worked flawlessly, and it only cost $2. My son and I had a fun DIY weekend thanks to you :)
Hi, Adam, Very good photography details. I had a hub from my axle shaft in the way and could not remove or replace the timing belt tensioner device. So the old one is still in use. I worked at a place where they trained us in safety. Definitely get some safety glasses and a face shield while you are using the wire brush on the grinder. Those wires fly off and sometimes go right into peoples eyeballs. We also had to wear gloves working on stuff. Home depot right now has some black nitrile with knitted cloth on the back. A plastic wrapped package, 10 pair for 6.95 ? they are easy to take on and off. A friend cut the fingertips off of his gloves, it works good.
I wish you could share how you got the second cam side on. I am having a devil of a time with that side being off by one notch. Because of the tension from the first. By the way great video .
@@airgrade1 I apologize if my video didn't cover this good enough. I actually filmed this many years ago, so I don't have good advice off the top of my head. Are you certain it's off one notch and it's not just that the old belt was stretched a bit?

Thank you for the compliments and suggestions. Best to you 👍👍👍
If you are adjusting one of the camshafts back to TDC and it springs forward, will it bend the valves?
Awesome Job !!
Thank you!

I took the camshaft bolt off before putting the belt on and turned it with out the belt own so the timing. What now?
