How to replace the LH secondary camshaft timing chain on Cadillac DeVille?

The left Timing Chain replacement process begins by removing the right Timing Chain followed by removal of the left Timing Chain Tensioner and left camshaft cover. Make sure the drive pins of both camshaft sprockets position themselves at their highest rotational point. Install the camshaft holding tool (J 44212) on the camshafts to stop rotation when removing the left intake camshaft sprocket bolt. Use an open end wrench on the hex cast into the camshaft. First remove the left intake camshaft sprocket bolt before sliding the left intake camshaft sprocket from the camshaft position then disconnect the left Timing Chain from the camshaft sprocket teeth. Free the left Timing Chain from its position on the camshaft intermediate drive shaft sprocket teeth before extracting it out of the engine. During installation use the left cylinder head to feed down the left Timing Chain until it reaches the left exhaust camshaft sprocket and then direct the chain across the inner row of camshaft intermediate drive shaft sprocket teeth. The left intake camshaft sprocket should be installed through the left Timing Chain until it positions on the camshaft where the sprocket notch li creates contact with the intake camshaft pin. Use the open end wrench to stop rotation before torqueing the camshaft sprocket bolt to 120 nm (89 ft. Lbs.). Once the camshaft holding tool (J 44212) is removed you should install the left camshaft cover followed by the left Timing Chain Tensioner and complete the installation with the right Timing Chain.
