If replacing camshafts or camshafts and VVT pulleys, follow the repair instructions attached
to this TJ rather than the instructions in VIDA. (TJI-531608-1_1_5_US 1.pdf for SPA1,

If replacing VVT pulleys only, follow the VIDA repair instructions with the exception of
replacing the timing belt kit. The timing belt kit should be reused unless it has been subjected
to abnormal mechanical stress, damage, or oil contamination.
When setting the timing with a used timing belt reference VIDA > Information > Repair >
Cleaning, Inspection, and Adjustment > 215 Timing belt, service position.
Only hand tools should be used for repairs according to the VIDA methods; otherwise, parts
may be damaged.
VVT pulley covers (PN 32137525) should not be replaced unless they are damaged.
When replacing VVT pulleys, the camshaft sealing rings (PN 31316040) should not be
replaced unless they are damaged.
When replacing camshafts, the sealing rings (PN 31316040) must be replaced.
