Make sure they know what they are doing and that the engine is a DTC at all times when removing that pulley. And also make sure they tighten it up properly.
There is also a note that the pulley bolt needs to be replaced after it is removed. You might want to look into that too.

It says "workshop manual" so yes you read it wrong. Besides it is the same part for both the manual and the auto 2.0L and 2.3L

that was thrown around the focus forums as well for safety sake. the 2 local guys didn't choose to go that route. it was said to make sure the engine (bolt) is completely cooled down before doing the change, as when at temp the bolt can tend to stip due to the high tq spec on them. i believe my manual says ~75lbs and then another ~90deg turn. if you don't go with the new bolt, make sure the engine is cooled down well to be safe.

I think you mean TDC, which is the acronym for Top Dead Center.

DTC is the acronym for Diagnostic Trouble Code.

How Will the VVT react to this Timing Gear s***..

 

[goldwing2000]

Pulleys don't have anything to do with valve timing. The only thing that can be affected is ignition timing.

Like ****... By Swapping the "Timing" you are adjusting when the lobes open the valves...
