How to replace the Cam Gear position actuator on Chevrolet Express 2500?

The beginning step to replace the Camshaft position actuator involves stripping out the Oil Pump from its installation position. The removal and installation process of the cmp actuator solenoid valve (234) requires attention to the reluctor wheel since it contains three roll pins which could harm users if detached during operation. Start by breaking free the cmp actuator together with the Timing Chain from the Camshaft before removing both components (235 and 208). Screw a tie strap through the actuator center extending it over the reluctor wheel. The installation process requires the compression of Timing Chain tensioner guide before applying en 46330 timing belt tensioner retaining pin (EN 46330). The cmp actuator should connect to its proper location on the Camshaft locating pin while the sprocket teeth simultaneously mesh and the sprocket alignment marks display alignment between the Camshaft and crankshaft components. Position the cmp actuator at the Camshaft while its rear opening faces the locating pin of the Camshaft. The installation requires a straight edge tool to check the front engine block face for Timing Chain excess. Place the new cmp actuator solenoid valve model 234 and torque it by hand until it reaches regular tightness. The sprocket alignment requires inspection where the cmp actuator sprocket should position at 6 o'clock while the crankshaft sprocket rests at 12 o'clock. Begin by removing the en 46330 and apply torque to the cmp actuator solenoid valve using the first sequence to 65 n.m (48 lb ft) followed by a second sequence of 90-degree rotation using the j 45059 angle meter (J 45059). Finally, reinstall the Oil Pump.
