Proper fan belt tension
A deflection is 12 mm (0.48 in.) when
the fan belt is pressed (68.6 N (7 kgf)
[15.4 lbs]) in the middle of the span.
3. If tension of fan belt is incorrect, loosen the
alternator mounting bolts and, using a lever placed
between the alternator and the engine block, pull
the alternator out until the deflection of the fan belt
