Accessory Drive Belt Replacement

Minor cracks in the belt rib are normal. They are the result of reverse bending around a backside pulley. Do not replace belts for minor cracks.

Belts that have chunking longer that 5 mm in one or more places should be replaced.

Belts should also be replaced if cord breakage or fabric separation is observed.
