- Before removal, locate the OE belt routing diagram or make a sketch of the belt path.
- Use appropriate tools to safely relieve tension – never cut or pry the belt off while under tension.
- Ensure the tensioner mounting surface is clean and free of debris before installing the new unit.
- Torque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications – verify appropriate torque for your specific engine application.
- After installation, rotate the engine by hand to verify proper belt tension and alignment, then start the engine briefly and recheck.
