2. Set the SST to the A/C compressor mount as shown in the figure.

NOTE:
-

During the A/C drive belt installation, if the SST touches the part number-printed area on the back of the A/C drive belt, the SST may not be
able to slide smoothly and the A/C drive belt will be pulled inward excessively. This will make it impossible to correctly install the A/C drive
belt to the groove of the A/C compressor pulley. To prevent this, adjust the A/C drive belt to the position shown in the figure, then start the
procedure.

3. After setting the SST, verify that the three parts of A/C drive belt shown in the figure are hung on each pulley.

4. Rotate the crankshaft pulley clockwise using a wrench and install the A/C drive belt.
