Drive Belt Removal
•
Remove the drive pulley [A] (see Drive Pulley Removal).
NOTE
○
Before removing, observe the direction the belt’s printed
information [A] (such as manufacturer’s name) is facing
so that it may be reinstalled on the pulleys to rotate in
the same direction as originally installed.
•
Lift the drive belt [B] off the driven pulley [C].
Drive Belt Installation
NOTE
○
Be sure the printed information faces the same direc-
tion so the belt rotates in the same direction as origi-
nally installed. W hen installing a new belt, install it so
the printed information [A] can be read from beside the
vehicle.
•
Installation is basically the reverse of removal.
•
Loop the belt [B] over the driven pulley [C].
•
Install the drive pulley (see Drive Pulley Installation).
•
Put the transmission in neutral, and rotate the driven pul-
ley to allow the belt to return to the top [A] of the sheaves,
before measuring belt deflection.
