You can simply unplug and remove your CAS. (10mm bolt) - And then line-up the dimple on the CAS gear with the notch on the CAS shaft.


Remove the top lid of the CAS (two philips head screws). Make two reference marks that line-up inside of the CAS so that you can keep the gear dimple and shaft notch lined-up below. (Keep in mind, the CAS is still out of the front cover. I'm only using the pictures as a sort of reference.)


Now, line-up the YELLOW mark on the main pulley with the needle that sticks out of the front cover. (Yellow mark... Not the red mark as shown in the picture.)


"Stab" or reinstall the CAS making sure that your reference marks stay lined-up. Keeping the reference marks lined-up is important... It ensures that the gear dimple and shaft notch stay aligned during reinstallation. You can now tighten the 10mm bolt to keep the CAS in place. Reinstall the top cover or lid of the CAS with the two philips head screws.


If you do not have a Factory Service Manual, below is a link to the '86-'88 (S4) FSM and '89-'91 (S5) FSM.

i'll play **** on this one. does anyone actually spend time to look for answers? this question is asked at least once a week and there are dozens of how to threads on it.

line up C/S pulley right indentation with pointer.
remove CAS and it's cover.
line up dot on CAS gear with boss line in the aluminum housing on the CAS just above the gear.
hold CAS gear with fingers while dropping into front cover with stud centered in the adjustment slot.
done.


yes it will need to be timed, just like a distributor.

Hell No!
It's much easier to type in crap and wait for someone to answer a question that's been asked 1000 times.
It's the Ultimate in Laziness..seriously.
