When you put a socket on my 3/8 air ratchet you can hold it and it doesnt turn the socket

take some oil and lube the head of the ratchet real good and then take a wrench and put it over the square socket attachement and try working it back and forward and also keep working the position knob .if this frees it up put 5 or 6 drops of oil in the air intake connector and plug yor air line into it and pull yor trigger .remember run it in both directions.hope this helps.

• Car jack
• Jack stands
• Torque wrench
• Chain wrench
• 3/8 inch drive ratchet
• 1/2 inch drive ratchet
• 10 mm wrench
• 12 mm wrench
• 10 mm socket (3/8 inch)
• 14 mm socket (3/8 inch)
• 17 mm socket (1/2 inch)
• 19 mm socket (1/2 inch)
• Timing belt
• Balancer belt
• Bottle of Liquid Paper

Disconnect the negative battery terminal. Using a ½-inch-drive ratchet and the 19 mm socket, turn the center bolt on the crankshaft so that number-one cylinder piston is at top dead center (TDC). You will know you ware at TDC when the mark on the crank is in alignment with the arrow on the timing cover.

Disconnect the cruise control connector and remove the cruise control actuator. Loosen the upper mounting bolt with the 14 mm socket. Use a 12 mm socket to loosen the lower nut then use a 10 mm socket to loosen the adjuster from the power steering pump and remove the belt.

Loosen the upper air conditioner mounting bolt using the 14 mm socket. Use the 12 mm socket to loosen the lower nut and adjusting bolt on the alternator and remove the alternator/AC belt. Remove the valve cover using a 10 mm socket.

Place the jack behind the left front wheel where the arrow is located indicating the jack location, and raise the vehicle. Put the jack stand under the subframe behind the jack, then lower the jack. Remove the left front wheel for easy access to the crank pulley. Using a block of wood atop the jack, place the jack under the oil pan and lift with slight pressure to hold the engine in place. Remove the side engine mount using a 17 mm deep socket.

Take off the dipstick, pipe tube and upper timing cover using a 10 mm socket.
Then remove the timing belt adjuster rubber seal without loosening the adjuster nut. Take off the crankshaft pulley bolt. Use the chain wrench to hold the the crankshaft pulley while turning the crankshaft pulley bolt with a 19 mm socket. Use the 10 mm wrench and 10 mm socket to remove the bolts on the lower cover. Remove the lower cover and mark the location of the cam, crank and balancer shaft with Liquid Paper. Remove the balancer shaft belt and timing belt. Install the timing belt and the balancer shaft belt in the reverse order of removing them. During Installation of the crank pulley, coat the threads of the crank pulley bolt with engine oil and tighten it to 159 foot-pounds. Finally, adjust the tension of the power steering and alternator belts as well.

1st Take the chain and bar off.
2nd Take the flywheel COVER off (pull cord side of your saw. )
3rd you will need strong needle nose pliers or the clutch tool that was made for this project.
You will also need a deep well 3/4" socket and 3/8" ratchet ( do not try this with a 1/4 rachet and socket)
Make sure your ratchet is set to turn right (or On POSITION) ( Your Clutch has left handed thread.)
4th Put your socket ( with ratchet attatched) on the flywheel nut. ( if the flywheel nut comes off. put it back on using blue locktight and use a rag to hold the flywheel )
5th Put your needle nose plyers in the grooves of the center clutch ( they will look like 1/2 moons on either side of the center piece.
6th turn the ratchet and hold the plyers still or if you have help( recommend a friends help)
7th. If the clutch does not come loose you may have to put an impacted in it.

Once the clutch is off, be sure to look at things carefully and pay attention to the positioning of everything (washers and oiler and oiler cover.
Make sure you clean your oiler ( I use starting fluid) so it flows easily.
Reasemble using steps 6 through 1 ( do not use an impact to reasemble)


I made a tool to fit on the clutch and used a impacted while holding the flywheel. ( take a wash rag or small towel and grab the flywheel. useing the tool you can easily remove the clutch

Things You'll Need:

• Battery terminal wrench
• Serpentine belt removal tool
• 3/8-inch ratchet
• 3/8-inch metric socket set

1. Turn off the engine and place the transmission in park (automatic) or first gear (manual). Engage the parking brake and open the hood. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery terminal using the battery terminal wrench.
   

2. Remove the serpentine belt by inserting the end of the serpentine belt tool into the square hole on the belt tensioner and rotating the removal tool clockwise. Unplug the alternator's electrical connector. Remove the bolt holding the positive voltage cable to the alternator using a 3/8-inch ratchet and a metric socket. Remove the positive voltage cable from the alternator.
   

3. Remove the alternator bracket bolts using a metric socket connected to a 3/8-inch ratchet. Remove the alternator from the car. Place the new alternator in the mounting brackets and reinstall the mounting bolts using a 3/8-inch ratchet connected to a metric socket.
   

4. Reinstall the positive voltage cable on the alternator and tighten the retaining nut using a 3/8-inch ratchet and a metric socket. Plug in the alternator's electrical connector. Compress the serpentine belt tensioner using the serpentine belt tool. Reinstall the serpentine belt according to the belt-routing diagram located under the hood.
   

5. Reconnect the negative cable to the battery using the battery terminal wrench. Start the engine and verify that the alternator works.
   

Hi this is a big job and not the kind of job a novice can do below is the instructions on removing and refitting the thermostat

Remove the Thermostat
1. 1 Place a catch pan under the drain valve of your Venture radiator.
   
2. 2 Open the radiator valve and drain at least 2 quarts of coolant. Then close the drain valve.
   
3. 3 Remove the air cleaner and duct assembly from the top of the engine to gain access to the thermostat housing. Use a screwdriver and a ratchet and socket if necessary.
   
4. 4 Disconnect the crossover exhaust pipe using a ratchet, ratchet extension and socket.
   
5. 5 Follow the upper radiator hose towards the engine to locate the thermostat housing.
   
6. 6 Disconnect the upper radiator hose from the thermostat housing. Use a pair of rib joint pliers to loosen the clamp, and then slip it off the thermostat housing towards the radiator. Other Venture models may use a worm clamp type, which you can remove using a standard screwdriver or ratchet and socket.
   
7. 7 Remove the upper radiator hose from the thermostat housing by carefully twisting and pulling the hose off the fitting.
   
8. 8 Unscrew the two mounting bolts from the thermostat housing using a ratchet, ratchet extension and socket. Detach the thermostat housing from the engine.
   
9. 9 Note the exact position of the thermostat so that you install the new one the same way. Then remove the thermostat and gasket.
   
Install the New Thermostat
10. 1 Apply a light coat of room temperature vulcanizing (RTV) sealer to the threads of the thermostat housing bolts.
    
11. 2 Set the new thermostat and new gasket in place.
    
12. 3 Set the thermostat housing in place and start the two mounting bolts by hand. Then tighten the bolts using the ratchet, ratchet extension and socket.
    
13. 4 Connect the upper radiator hose to the thermostat housing.
    
14. 5 Tighten the upper radiator clamp over the thermostat housing using the rib joint pliers, standard screwdriver or ratchet and socket.
    
15. 6 Connect the crossover exhaust pipe using the ratchet, ratchet extension and socket.
    
16. 7 Install the air cleaner and duct assembly using the screwdriver or ratchet and socket.
    
17. 8 Add coolant to the radiator using a 50/50 mixture of distilled water and anti-freeze.
    
18. 9 Start the engine and check the upper radiator hose and thermostat housing for leaks.
    

if your doing the job yourself then just take your time and remember where all the bolts you undo come from as putting them back in correct order can be a nightmare.

add a few drops of marvel mystrey oil to the ail line opening to clean it out and try it again

check the teeth of rachetmechanisme and spring of the cam.

Like any power tool, air tools are safe to operate when the proper precautions are followed. Always read and follow the manufacturer's recommendations.
