Primary Pulley and Secondary Pulley: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
NOTE:

Always replace the primary pulley, secondary pulley and variator chain as a set. 

  1. Install a new seal ring.
    NOTE:
    • Apply CVTF to the seal rings. 
    • Do not stretch the seal ring more than necessary.

  2. When replacing the primary pulley and secondary pulley, select the primary pulley shim.
    1. Using the ST, measure the height "H1" from the ST end face to the primary pulley bearing catch surface.
      NOTE:

      Measure at four points and calculate the average. 

      Preparation tool: 

      ST: GAUGE (499575400)

    2. Measure the height "H2" from the ST end face to the secondary pulley bearing catch surface.
      NOTE:

      Measure at four points and calculate the average.

    3. Using the following calculation and selection criteria table, select an appropriate thickness of the primary pulley shim.
    NOTE:

    Adjust using 1 - 2 pieces. 

    C = B - A + H1 - H2 - 31.137 mm (1.2259 in)

    C Pulley alignment mm (in)
    H1 Measured value (mm (in)) of step (1)
    H2 Measured value (mm (in)) of step (2)
    A Specified primary pulley dimension*
    B Specified secondary pulley dimension*
    31.137 mm (1.2259 in) Constant

    *: The specified dimensions of the primary pulley and secondary pulley are stamped only on repair parts.
