After a new squeak developed in my car, which I thought was just a belt, some internet sleuthing has told me that I need to replace my camshaft position synchronizer.
I'm just now getting into the realm of car repair, and there are plenty of directions on how to do this, but they're very obviously written for people who have a bit of experience. I know all about the whole gear, I understand I need the positioning tool (as to why...not sure), and I know I need to get the engine to TDC.
Can anyone here give me, in dumber-than-dirt, spelled-out directions, how exactly I replace this? Specifically, how to get the engine to TDC and any clues on getting the old one out and new one in with everything lined up the way it should be?
