Hello

Um replacing a head gasket ive got everything takeing apart, except the timing belt cover etc..

can some one gide me how to remove that black plastick cover i dont have a book

i got an 04 sxt

 

ok frist undo motor mount, undo center bolt from wheel whell while useing jack or host remove center bracket 3bolts and top stearing fluid line bracket ,remove power steiring pump do not disconnect lines,remove belts and pully,two screws in bottom of case and done

 

easyier said then done,

ive got mount off, powersteering and 1 BOLT on that bracket, the other one i see CANT REACH, HOW ?, and there is a 3rd ? where is it
any Picture's somewhere ? online manual with pics ?
I hate this neon

would i have to line up timing when um putting it all back togather ?

 

1.pull the the harmonic balancer you can rent puller at most parts store
2. take of the power steering pump there is tree bolts behind the pully you got take them out trough the holes in the pully
3. take out the 3motor mountsput jack under motor
4. now you can take of the bracket use the jack too tilt the motor so you can get the bolts out
5. take of the cover now
6. make sure the motor is in tdc before taking of the belt check check the marks on the crank and the cam gear make sure you are not 180 out on the cam gear
7. take of the timing belt

 

crank pully not harmonic ballencer but very nice. if you can get or rent a houst i would suggest that over a jack it will make life alot eisier. the missing bolts you need is 6 in under the one you got and 6in to the left of that one. keep in mind the brace wouldnt come of till you pull back your power steiring pump three bolts in pully and two behind it, then you should be able to pull it back and lift it in one piece

 

where do you pull the CRANK PULLY ? its that big pully at the buttom it is being held by a bolt, do i remove the bolt ?

where would the 3rd engine mount be located, i removed 2 so fat top and buttom


PS. who came up with a getto design like this ? i mean its an 04 understandble in the 90's but wtf, thats why a dodge will allways be a dodge.

 

for the crank pully pull the bolt with an impact wrenck then use a blue point puller to getoff the pully your average napa woulnt do it, ive been told auto zone has the one you need but you may have to ask for it. put the lower mount back on the 3rd one your looking for is in the dead center, pull off your wheel youll see a round cap on the gaurd wall that has a wire going to it pop that cap and youll see a tourgue bolt that bolt must be removed but have your motor suported by at least a jack before you do it. ps dodge made it to handle shake better than the first gen but their a lot tighter becouse of it.

 

you guys ive found the 3rd engine mount it is being held on 4 bolts witch are IMPOSIBLE to remove there is not enough room for it to come out
and the 4th bolt at the buttom of that mount i cant even reach, what do i do?

step by step please any one, i need to drive by tonight how do you remove that 3rd mount in the middle ?

 

no no no do not pull those four bolts you can acces that from the wheelwell

 

IC, how do i get that Torqu bolt out ? with what tool ?

so i do need to get the crank pulley off ? do i need to take the wheel off to do this
