• Q: How to replace the lower timing chain guide on 2010 GMC Canyon?

  A: The first step for replacing the lower Timing Chain Guide requires removal of the Timing Chain tensioner shoe. You should slide the crankshaft sprocket off its snout to generate Timing Chain slack that enables the lower Timing Chain Guide removal. Users must extract the lower Timing Chain Guide starting with removal of the cylinder head access hole plug then followed by unscrewing the lower Timing Chain Guide bolts before removing the lower Timing Chain Guide from the engine. The proper installation of the lower Timing Chain Guide requires fitting it to the engine and screwing lower Timing Chain Guide bolts to 12 nm (107 lb in). You should proceed to install the cylinder head access hole plug before torqueing it to 5 nm (44 lb in). Install the crankshaft sprocket onto its snout while positioning the marked chain link straight with the crankshaft timing mark. Position the last component by installing the Timing Chain tensioner shoe.
