Accessory Drive Belts
ADJUSTMENT
DRIVE BELT ROUTINGS
INSPECTION
REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
Adjustment
The drive belt tension is maintained by an automatic belt tensioner and does not require adjustment.
Drive Belt Routings
Inspection
Inspect the drive belt for signs of glazing or cracking. A glazed belt will be perfectly smooth from slippage, while a good belt will have a slight texture of fabric visible. Cracks will usually start at the inner edge of the belt and run outward. All worn or damaged drive belts should be replaced immediately.
Removal & Installation
NOTE
When installing the drive belt on the pulleys, make sure all the V-grooves make proper contact with the pulleys.
WARNING
Use caution when removing or installing the belt and make sure the tool does not slip from the drive belt tensioner or personal injury or damage to the belt tensioner and the belt may occur.
- Attach a 15mm socket or wrench to the bolt attaching the tensioner pulley.
- On all 3.0L (OHV) engines, rotate the drive belt tensioner clockwise to relieve belt tension and slide the belt off the pulleys.
- On 3.0L (DOHC) engines, rotate the tensioner counterclockwise to relieve belt tension and slide the belt off the pulleys.
To install:
- Install the drive belt on all the pulleys except the tensioner pulley.
- Rotate the belt tensioner as outlined in the removal procedure to relieve belt tension and install the belt onto the tensioner pulley. Make sure the V-grooves make proper contact with the pulleys. Make sure the spring keeper releases or improper belt tension will occur.
This will help.
Thanks.
