!
WARNING
Inspecting the belts with the engine running may cause serious injury or death. Turn off the engine and remove the ignition
key before adjusting tension or inspecting belts.
a - Power steering pump pulley
b - Water circulating pump pulley
c - Crankshaft pulley
d - Alternator pulley
Checking
1. Check the drive belt for excessive wear, fraying, glazed surfaces, or cracks.
NOTE: Minor, transverse cracks (across the belt width) may be acceptable. Longitudinal cracks (in the direction of belt
length) that join transverse cracks are not acceptable.
2. Inspect the drive belt for a proper tension of 6 mm (0.25 in.) deflection. Check the belt tension by applying moderate thumb
pressure on the belt at the longest distance between the two pulleys.

Power Steering Pump Drive Belt
1. Loosen the power steering pump attaching bolts and mounting bolts.
2. Pivot the power steering pump toward the engine, as required, until the belt can be removed.
3. Install the new drive belt on the pulleys. Adjust the tension.
Alternator Belt
1. Remove the power steering pump drive belt, if equipped.
2. Remove the two screws and washers from the front engine mount bracket assembly on the port side.
3. Remove the spacer block between the bracket assembly and the engine block. You may need to tap gently on the spacer.
4. Loosen the alternator. Remove and replace the alternator belt.
5. Replace the spacer block between the bracket assembly and the engine block. Install the two screws using the washers
removed previously.
