1990 Nissan Micra Timing Belt Removal Procedure - Service Manual Page EM-5

This is page EM-5 of a factory service manual, covering the removal procedure for the engine timing belt. The page presents a nine-step procedure with supporting line illustrations. Steps include: jacking up the vehicle; removing the right-front wheel and right fender protector (illustration SEM023B); placing a jack with a wooden plate under the oil pan to support the engine (SEM968); removing the alternator drive belt (SEM024B); removing the right engine mounting (SEM025B); removing the upper dust cover and gasket and setting the No. 1 cylinder at Top Dead Center (T.D.C.) on its compression stroke, aligning the camshaft pulley timing mark (SEM982); removing the crankshaft pulley, lower dust cover and gasket; loosening the tensioner lock nut and removing the tensioner spring (SEM026B); and finally removing the timing belt for visual inspection. The page closes by directing the reader to the Timing Belt Inspection section on pages EM-6 and EM-7. The document itself gives no year, model, or engine identification on this page, but the layout and illustration codes are consistent with a Nissan factory service manual, matching the uploader's claim of a 1990 Nissan Micra. A reader can learn the correct sequence and preparation steps to safely access and remove the timing belt.
