When replacing the primary pulley and secondary pulley, select the primary pulley shim.

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.

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

NOTE:

Adjust using 1 - 2 pieces.

Install the secondary pulley.

Set the variator chain to the primary pulley.
Intersect the chain groove of primary pulley and the chain groove of secondary pulley, and set the secondary pulley while placing the variator chain on the secondary pulley.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to scratch the primary pulley, secondary pulley and variator chain.

Align the bolt hole of secondary bearing retainer with the bolt hole of drive pinion retainer, and install the secondary pulley mounting bolt.

NOTE:

Apply CVTF to the threaded portion of the bolts and seat surface.
