Alternator Belt Adjustment (W/O A/C, Deflection Method):

Deflection Method:

1. Apply a force of lOON (10kg, 22 lbs) and measure the deflection between the alternator and the crank- shaft pulley.

Deflection: 10.5-12.5 mm (0.42-0.51 in)

NOTE: On a brand-new belt (one that has been run for less than five minutes), the deflection should be 8-10 mm (0.32-0.40 in) when first measured. If the belt is worn or damaged, replace it.

2. Loosen the through bolt and adjustment locknut.
3. Turn the adjusting bolt to obtain the proper belt tension, then retighten the nut and through bolt.
4. Recheck the belt deflection.

NOTE:Install and adjust the power steering pump belt.

Alternator Belt Adjustment (W/O A/C, Belt Tension Gauge Method):

Belt Tension Gauge Method:

1. Following the gauge manufacturer's instructions, attach the belt tension gauge to the belt and measure the tension.

Tension: 300-450 N (30-45 kg, 66-99 Ibs)

NOTE: On a brand-new belt (one that has been run for less than five minutes), the tension should be 450-650 N (45-65kg, 99-143 lbs) when first measured. If the belt is worn or damaged, replace it.

2. Loosen the through bolt and adjustment locknut.
3. Turn the adjusting bolt to obtain the proper belt tension, then retighten the nut and through bolt.
4. Recheck the tension of the belt.

NOTE: Install and adjust the power steering pump belt.
