Operation 3
Check the Fan/Water Pump Belt Tension
The engine fan and water pump share the same drive
belt (2). A self adjusting spring-loaded idler (1) keeps
a constant tension on the belt. If the belt is found to
be loose, check the pivot of the spring-loaded idler for
binding. If the spring-loaded idler is operating fine,
belt replacement maybe necessary.
If the belt requires replacement, install a square end
of a 19 mm (3/4
") breaker bar into the slot of the idler
and release the spring tension by pushing down on the
wrench. Slip the old belt off the engine pulleys and
install a new belt. Release the wrench and allow the
spring-loaded idler to apply belt tension.

Operation 4
Check the Tension on Alternator/A/C Compressor Belt
The alternator and AC compressor share the same
drive belt (4). A self adjusting spring-loaded idler (3)
keeps a constant tension on the belt. If the belt is
found to be loose, check the pivot of the spring-loaded
idler for binding. If the spring-loaded idler is operating
fine, belt replacement maybe necessary.
NOTE: The fan/water pump belt has to be removed
first to gain access - see above.
If the belt requires replacement, install a square end
of a 13 mm (1/2
") breaker bar into the slot of the idler
and release the spring tension by pushing up on the
wrench. Slip the old belt off the engine pulleys and
install a new belt. Release the wrench and allow the
spring-loaded idler to apply belt tension.
