Need help with LLT timing chain replacement
As the title says, I am in the process of replacing the timing chains on my LLT. So far I have removed the intake plenum, valve covers, and belt tensioner. Do I need to completely remove the power steering pump to remove the timing cover? Does the alternator and compressor need to come off? Any tips or advice is appreciated.

Why do you want to replace the timing chain? Are you aware that timing chains are designed to last the lifetime of and engine, unlike timing belts? My tips and advice are to put the car back together before wasting time and money.

I completed the job tonight. The reason I replaced my timing chains is that the passenger side chain (bank 1) stretched and caused a P0008 code for engine timing. This is a common problem for the LLT engine. Most cases I have read about were well before 100k miles. My car has 164k miles. I have it back together with new chains, guides, tensioners, etc. It runs better and much quieter now
