• Q: How to replace the Cam Gear on 2004 Chevrolet Aveo?

  A: Starting the replacement of the camshaft gear requires battery cable disconnection and Timing Belt removal. The first step involves removing both engine cover bolts then extracting the engine cover from its position. Start by disconnecting Spark Plug Wires from their position then disconnect the ventilation tubes from the valve cover. Lastly disconnect the camshaft position (CMP) sensor. Start by removing the valve cover nuts together with their washers and proceed to take off the valve cover and its gasket. Unscrew the intake camshaft gear bolt and follow by removing the intake camshaft gear while the technician keeps the camshaft stabilized. You should first hold the exhaust camshaft and afterward remove the exhaust camshaft gear bolt before taking off the exhaust camshaft gear. To install the intake camshaft gear properly apply gentle force before using the intake camshaft gear bolt to secure it by tightening the bolt to 67.5 nm (49 ft. Lbs.). The exhaust camshaft gear needs to be installed with its bolt followed by securing the bolt at 67.5 nm (49 ft. Lbs.). Begin by connecting the valve cover ventilation tubes followed by reinstallation of ignition wires to spark plugs. Reinstall the Timing Belt and both engine cover parts and restore the negative battery cable before finishing.
