But you wil have to remove the cam pulley cover.
Loosen the tension bolt. Using the crank bolt turn counter clockwise until you see the cam pulley move 3 teeth, keeping tension on the crank bolt tighten the tension bolt and your done.
Car must be jacked up.
Hope this helps

don't need 2 b jacked up just turned the steering wheel all way to the left.
and you can acces the tension bolt from up top, if your hand are small enough . . .
oh plus this must be done with the engine cold . . .
