NOTE: The belt tensioner is spring loaded and must be pivoted away from the drive belt. Pivoting in the wrong direction can result in damage to the belt tensioner.
3/8-Inch Square Drive
Lift belt tensioner to relieve tension in the belt, and remove the belt.
Lift and hold the tensioner. Install the drive belt and release the tensioner.
Service Tip: If difficulty is experienced installing the drive belt; for example, the belt seems too short; position the belt over the grooved pulleys first; then, while holding the tensioner up, slide the belt over the water pump pulley.
