B: Drive Belt Installation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
- To reuse the drive belt, install it by aligning the arrow mark on the backside of belt marked at the removal with the rotating direction.
- Check that the notches of the notched pulley and the notches of the drive belt are fit correctly.
- Check that the drive belt is installed in the center of the flat surface of the flat pulley.
- Install the drive belt to each pulley as shown in the figure.
- Set an offset wrench [45°, a long offset wrench (5/8 x 11/16 inches) recommended] to the pulley bolt of the auto-tensioner. Then, rotate the auto-tensioner counterclockwise and remove the L-shaped hexagon wrench fixing the auto-tensioner.
- Apply tension to the drive belt while slowly turning the auto-tensioner clockwise.
