Drive Belt: Adjustments

POWER STEERING V-BELT: 

Inspection: 

On 4-cylinder engines, a V-belt is used to drive the power steering pump. Check the condition of V-belt for splits in the base material, separation
of layers, fraying of cords, flank wear, glazing, traces of oil or grease. If any of these conditions exist, the belt should be replaced. Check V-belt
tension by applying firm thumb pressure to the area of the belt between the two pulleys that are furthest apart. Adjust belt tension if necessary.

Adjusting: 

Power Steering V-belt

1. Loosen power steering pump securing bolts and nuts until V-belt is loose.

NOTE:  Loosen adjustment clamping bolt (3) at least one full turn.

2. Adjust V-belt tension by torquing tensioning nut to the specification listed below. Tighten clamping bolt when tension is correct. Tighten
