Drive Belt: Service and Repair

REMOVAL

NOTE: Cracks on the rib side of a drive belt are considered acceptable. If the drive belt has chunks missing from the ribs or if two or more adjacent ribs have lost sections 13 mm (0.5 inch) or longer or if the missing chunks are creating a Noise Vibration Or Harshness (NVH) condition, replace the drive belt. Conditions requiring drive belt replacement are rib chunk-out, severe glazing, frayed cords or other concerns. Replace any drive belt exhibiting one of these conditions.





1. Rotate the drive belt tensioner to remove the drive belt.

INSTALLATION
