A belt tension gauge will not give an accurate measure of
the belt tension when automatic spring tensioner is used.
Measure tensioner spring tension using a torque wrench
and procedure outlined below:
1. Release tension on belt using a long handle 1/2-in.
breaker bar in tension arm. Remove belt from pulleys.
2. Release tension on tension arm and remove breaker
bar.
3. Put a mark (A) on swing arm of tensioner as shown.
4. Measure 21 mm (0.83 in.) from first mark (A) and put a
second mark (B) on tensioner mounting base.
5. Rotate the swing arm using a torque wrench until
marks (A and B) are aligned.
6. Record torque wrench measurement and compare with
