1. Align the timing marks.
2. Loosen the center bolt on the tension pulley to remove the timing belt.

CAUTION:  Make a mark on the back of the timing belt, indicating the direction of rotation, so it may be reassembled in the same direction, if
it is to be reused.

1. If the auto tensioner rod is in its fully extended position, reset it as follows.

1. Keep the auto tensioner level and in that position, clamp it in the vice with soft jaws.
2. Slowly compress the push rod of the auto tensioner until pin hole A is aligned with pin hole B in the cylinder.

CAUTION:  The auto tensioner must be placed at a right angle to the pressing surface of press or vice.

CAUTION:  Push in the rod slowly to prevent the push rod from being damaged.

3. Insert a wire [1.4 mm (0.055 inch) in diameter] into the pin holes.

NOTE:  The wire should be as stiff as possible (such as piano wire, etc.), and should be bent into the shape of an "L".

4. Unclamp the auto tensioner from the vice.
