4. Reinstall the driven clutch and drive belt. Torque the driven
clutch retaining bolt to 17 ft. lbs. (23.5 Nm). Be sure to
rotate the driven clutch counterclockwise several times to
ensure the belt is tight and riding at the proper height in the
clutch.
5. Inspect the belt to sheave clearance again. If the belt rests
evenly between the drive clutch stationary and moveable
sheaves, the offset is correct and the vehicle can be
reassembled (see Step 7). If the belt is still contacting either
sheave, remove the drive belt and driven clutch. Add or
remove offset washers behind the driven clutch
accordingly.
