Drive Belt: Specifications (page 7 of 8) – Saab 9000 L4-2290cc 2.3L DOHC (1991)

6. Remove the top fixing bolt for the belt tensioner and swivel the tensioner down. Remove the two fixing bolts in the mounting plate and lift off the

plate complete with tensioner.

INSTALL 

1. Install the bolts in the mounting plate, swivel the tensioner down and install the top bolt.

NOTE:  As the tensioner is compressed, oil is forced through a tiny gap between the plunger and the cylinder wall, and it therefore takes time for
the oil to flow from one chamber to the next. With this in mind, push the tensioner in slowly when tightening the belt.
