Removal
1. Remove the timing belt and intermediate shaft gear.

2. After measuring the longitudinal stroke of the shaft, evaluate its axial play. The dial gauge should be secured to the cylinder block coaxially with the shaft, pressing the plunger against the end of the journal of the latter. Otherwise, the procedure is identical to that described for the camshaft. If the measurement result exceeds the specified value, Specifications limit value for the camshaft, replace the intermediate shaft.
3. Loosen the mounting bolts and remove the intermediate shaft flange.
