Beforeiredrive belt service, disconnect the negative
Battery Cable from the battery. Loosen the
Belt Tensioner, clockwise, till it touches its stop, lift out the belt and slowly turn it clockwise until it reaches the empty position. As you put on the new belt, inspect every pulley and place the belt properly so no incorrect pump movement overheats the engine. Go around all pulleys with the new belt, except the idler, then move the tensioner arm so it touches its stop, put the belt around the idler and have the tensioner rotate in and fit over all of the pulleys. For new belt installation, the indexing tang should be within 6 - 8 mm (0.24 - 0.32 inch) of the indexing stop on the housing. If you haven't worn a belt for 15 minutes or less, it is still considered new. When the drive belt is installed, take a moment to look at the belt wear indicator.
