Hi, I'm Don from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and the next time you need a part for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the upper timing chain cover, or timing belt cover, on this 2005 Hyundai Elantra. Same as any 2001-2006 Elantra. Tools you'll need are jack and jack stands. 10-17mm sockets, ratchet, socket extensions, and a Phillips screwdriver.
To start off this repair, you're going to want to jack up the front of the vehicle and support it with jack stands. In this footage, you'll notice we have the wheel off. You do not need to remove your front tire, we had done that for different reasons. We've got the car supported with a lift, and you can do it with jack stands. Then we're going to have to support the engine, because we're going to remove the motor mount. We're going to do that with a floor jack and a piece of wood in between the jack and the oil pan.
Okay, get three upper motor mount bolts and nuts, actually two nuts and a bolt. It's a 14mm, undo those. We'll just fast forward here as we remove those three nuts. Now I'm removing the Phillips head screw that holds the power steering reservoir. Lift it up, slide it out of the way. Locate this 10mm here that's on the bottom of the power steering reservoir. It'll have a clamp, and remove that. You've got one, two, three 14mm bolts. We'll kick it into high gear again here as we fast-forward through removing those three bolts.
Now, with the 17mm socket I'm going to take the nut off the top of the motor mount. Now I can pull the engine mount bracket off, and slide the engine mount out of the way. Locate the 14 that holds the bracket in place. Two 10mm bolts hold on this bracket. You're going to find the six 10mm bolts that hold on your timing cover: one, two, three, four, five, six.
We're installing the upper timing cover. Okay, we're going to fast-forward here as we just start in all the bolts by hand first. Then we tighten them up. We can tighten them up to 15 or 16 ft/lbs. As you can see, we just took ours off. Actually, we shot this as part of doing the whole timing belt. Generally, if you're going to replace this, it's usually when you replace the timing belt. Sometimes they get wiped out by a broken timing belt. We'll fast-forward as we tighten it up.
We're putting the motor mount back in. Okay, we're going to speed it up here. As you saw, put the motor mount back into place, and then put the upper bracket on. You saw us just kind of lift up the engine a little bit with the jack. That just allowed everything to go together easier. Then we start all our bolts on, and then you can tighten up the upper bracket. Let the engine down into place, and then tighten up all the rest of the bolts. All these bolts, the 15mms, you want to tighten up to about 50-55 foot-pounds. That 17mm nut is 60-65 foot-pounds. Put the bolt back in the power steering reservoir. Then the retaining screw.
