How to replace the LH exhaust Cam Gear on Bank 2 on Cadillac SRX?

First remove the lower Intake Manifold and left camshaft cover to access and work on the bank 2 left side exhaust camshaft position actuator. You must disconnect both left camshaft position sensors before handling the left intake and exhaust camshaft actuator solenoids. Follow clockwise direction when you twist the crankshaft balancer bolt and make sure the crankshaft balancer stops at the neutral position where you can mark the camshaft Timing Chain and position actuators for correct reassembly. Mark the Timing Chain links with a paint stick on both sides of the adjacent camshaft position actuator teeth. Use the open end wrench on hex cast in left camshafts to let Timing Chain relax before tightening the en-48313 Timing Chain retention tool. Put the en-48313 between the camshaft actuators so the feet point toward the engine front while turning the handle clockwise to expand its legs partially. Fasten the en-48313 tool against both Timing Chain sides once its short leg rests against the chain segment. Turn the open end wrench to loosen the chain system and withdraw the left exhaust camshaft position actuator bolt followed by its handle while setting up removal. After disassembly set the exhaust camshaft actuator on the Timing Chain marks from installation. Also line up the intake camshaft actuator mark with the Timing Chain marks. Place the exhaust camshaft actuator on its camshaft before hand-tightening the actuator bolt. That enables you to loosen the en-48313. Drive the exhaust camshaft position actuator bolt to 58 n.m (43 lb ft). End the process by placing back the left camshaft components including sensors and actuator solenoids as well the lower Intake Manifold and left camshaft cover.
