idler assembly to the underside of the unit. Remove the
idler assembly.
STEP 9: Remove the nut securing the transmission idler
pulley to the idler arm, and remove the pulley assembly.

Note: Make careful note of the exact placement of the idler
belt guide before removing hardware, as the belt guide must
be in this same position upon reassembly. Incorrect place-
ment of the belt guide can result in interference with the belt
routing and damage to the belt and/or unit.
Remove and discard the two spacing washers located
between the top of the idler pulley and the idler arm. See
Figure 4.
