Drive belts are equipped with a spring loaded automatic belt tensioner (Fig. 92). This belt tensioner will be used on all belt configurations, such as
with or without power steering or air conditioning.
1. Attach a socket/wrench to pulley mounting bolt of automatic tensioner (Fig. 92). The threads on the pulley mounting bolt are left- hand.
2. Relax the tension from the belt by rotating the tensioner counterclockwise (as viewed from front) (Fig. 92). When all belt tension has been relaxed,
remove belt from tensioner pulley first and other pulleys last.
