How to replace the Cam Gear Actuator on Cadillac Escalade ESV?

The first step to replace the Camshaft position actuator is to remove the Oil Pump from its position. The cmp actuator solenoid valve (234) should be discarded in the next step. Exercising care requires avoiding both pushing pressure and pulling forces on the reluctor wheel of the cmp actuator because the wheel stays attached by three roll pins to make personal injury possible. Unfasten the cmp actuator with its Timing Chain from the Camshaft before removing both parts: cmp actuator (235) and Timing Chain (208). The actuator requires a tie strap to pass through its center before securing it over the reluctor wheel. The installation requires compressing the Timing Chain tensioner guide then installing the retaining pin (EN 46330). Also position the cmp actuator correctly on the Camshaft locating pin so the sprocket teeth connect with the Timing Chain and the sprocket alignment marks of both shafts align properly. The cmp actuator installation needs alignment of its rear opening through the locating pin on the Camshaft before moving forward. Check the installation quality through straight-edge inspection of the engine block front surface. Fits the new cmp actuator solenoid valve (234) to a tight hand position first. Examine the sprocket alignment to verify the cmp actuator sprocket mark faces to the right side while the crankshaft sprocket mark faces forward. Screw the en 46330 timing belt tensioner retaining pin (EN 46330) out before applying torque to the cmp actuator solenoid valve with a j 45059 angle meter (J 45059) for the first time at 65 n.m (48 lb ft) then rotate it another 90 degrees. Finally, reinstall the Oil Pump.
