A: To replace the engine front cover you will need to check some tools for replacement: en 46105 camshaft locking tool (EN 46105), en 46111 crankshaft rotational socket (EN 46111) and en 46109 guide pin set (EN 46109).

Besides, remove the water outlet housing assembly, drive belt tensioner and Water Pump also and Power Steering Pump set it aside. Take off the crankshaft balancer, camshaft position actuator valves, and solenoid valves from the front cover, then the engine Oil Pan and the engine front cover bolts. Tighten a 10 x 1.5 mm bolt into the "jackscrew" hole loosely before you take the pry points on the edge of the front cover and the "jackscrew" to shear the rtv sealant and remove the engine front cover. Turn the crankshaft may be with the use of en 46111 so that the left cylinder head camshafts are on the line of en 46105-2 and the right cylinder head camshafts are on the line en 46105-1. Mount the en 46105-1 to the right camshafts, and the en 46105-2 to the left camshafts. As for installation, put the 8mm (0.315 in) guide from the en 46109 to the cylinder block positions, then fit the engine front cover to cylinder block seal. Apply 3mm (0.118 in) bead of rtv sealant gen m p/n 12378521 (CA P/N 88901148) or equivalent on the engine front cover. Place the engine front cover onto the en 46109 and slide it into the position, and remove the en 46109 from the cylinder block. Hand start every front cover bolt and tighten them in numerical order to 23 n.m (17 lb ft).
