Emergency repairs
Removal and installation of the poly-V-belt on the MX-11
engine
1. Disconnect the earth cable from the
battery.
2. Remove the front engine
encapsulation.
3. Loosen the connector of the electric
fan clutch, if fitted, and remove the
wiring from the bracket.
4. Place a 17-mm ring spanner on the hexagon of the belt tensioner.
NOTE: The tensioner can be temporarily blocked with a 4- to 5-mm thick
pin (bore); see the arrow in the illustration.
This facilitates removal and installation of the poly-V-belt.
5. Slacken the poly-V-belt so that it can be removed from the pulleys.
6. Allow the automatic belt tensioner to spring carefully back to the stop, if it has not
been temporarily blocked.
7. Remove the poly-V-belt through the
opening at the guide ring. Hang the
poly-V-belt over a fan blade. Rotate
the fan and hang the poly-V-belt
over it. Repeat this for the entire fan
and then remove the poly-V-belt.
8. Inspect the pulleys for damage, rust
and grease deposits.
9. Pull the new poly-V-belt over the
fan.
