Instructions for Replacing the Timing Belt

Model: Chrysler Sebring JR, St22 - Years 2000-2006
Part: Timing belt

Only perform the timing belt replacement if you have a good understanding of general mechanics, as an error in positioning the belt or securing any pulleys could severely compromise the engine. Start by positioning the vehicle on a ramp, removing the front right wheel, and applying a support under the engine to remove the engine mount on the timing side. Drain the coolant through the radiator drain plug, as you will also need to remove the water pump. Continue by removing the two auxiliary belts by loosening their respective tensioners; rotate the crankshaft pulley to align the timing marks and remove the pulley to extract the second auxiliary belt. Then, remove the timing belt covers by moving the alternator to complete the removal of the engine mount bracket and disconnect the electrical connectors. Note the routing of the belt around the various pulleys and loosen the tensioner to slide it off only after verifying the alignment of the timing marks again. Proceed with replacing the water pump, idler rollers, and tensioners before finally repositioning the belt. Finally, reinstall everything that was previously removed, also replacing the auxiliary belts and the coolant.
