1999 Subaru Forester S Timing Belt Removal & Installation
download
Removal 1. Disconnect negative battery cable. Raise and support vehicle. Remove engine under cover. 2. Lower vehicle. Remove radiator coolant reservoir, and set aside. Remove electric cooling fan and radiator shroud. 3. On Impreza and Forester, remove accessory drive belt cover. On all models, remove accessory drive belts. 4. Hold crankshaft pulley stationary, and remove crankshaft pulley center bolt. Remove crankshaft pulley. Remove timing belt covers. 5. Turn crankshaft to align crankshaft and camshaft timing notches with marks on rear timing cover and engine block. See Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 . On manual transmission models, remove timing belt guide from top of crankshaft pulley. 6. On all models, if reusing old belt, use White paint to mark timing belt in relation to sprocket timing marks. See Fig. 3. Also mark timing belt direction of travel. On 2000 and newer vehicles, count number of teeth between marks.

For correct count, see INSTALLATION MARK MEASUREMENT SPECIFICATIONS table. 7. Remove No. 2 timing belt idler pulley.
See Fig. 4. Remove timing belt. Remove timing belt automatic tensioner
with rod facing up. 1. Inspect timing belt for wear on rounded edges of
drive teeth. Inspect belt for signs of oil contamination. Replace belt
if it is damaged or contaminated. 2. Inspect belt automatic tensioner oil seals
for leaks. Slight trace of oil at rod oil seal does not indicate a
problem. Inspect rod ends for abnormal wear and scratches. 3. Measure
extension of rod beyond tensioner body. Holding tensioner with rod
facing up, rod extension should be .204-.244″ (5.2-6.2 mm). See Fig. 5.
Replace automatic tensioner if rod extension is not as specified.
CAUTION: Always use a vertical type pressing tool to compress automatic
tensioner rod. DO NOT use a bench vise to compress rod. It may take more
than 3 minutes to compress the automatic tensioner rod. 4. Place
automatic tensioner in a press with tensioner rod facing up. Apply 66
lbs. (294 N) of pressure on rod. If rod moves down easily, replace
automatic tensioner. 5. Inspect automatic tensioner and idler pulleys
for worn bearings or lubricant leaks. Replace as necessary. Installation
CAUTION: To prevent damage, DO NOT apply more than 2205 lbs. (9807 N)
of pressure to automatic adjuster rod. Do NOT press automatic tensioner
rod past the top surface of the housing.
