Accessory Belt Removal and Replacement

Drive Belt Replacement

 

Drive Belt, Serpentine

NOTE: Cracks on the rib side of a drive belt (8620) are considered acceptable. If the drive belt has chunks missing from the ribs or if two or more adjacent ribs have lost sections 13 mm (0.5 inch) or longer or if the missing chunks are creating a noise, vibration or harshness (NVH) condition, replace the drive belt.

 

 

Conditions requiring drive belt replacement are rib chunk-out, severe glazing, frayed cords or other concerns. Replace any drive belt exhibiting one of these conditions.

Removal and Installation

  1. Rotate drive belt tensioner (6B209) clockwise with a breaker bar installed in the 0.5 inch square hole in drive belt tensioner arm.

  1.  WARNING: DO NOT ALLOW DRIVE BELT TENSIONER TO SNAP BACK AS DAMAGE TO DRIVE BELT TENSIONER OR PERSONAL INJURY COULD RESULT.

    Lift drive belt over generator pulley flange and remove drive belt.

  1. NOTE: Make sure drive belt is properly installed on each pulley.

     

     

    To install, position drive belt over pulleys. Make sure that all V-grooves make proper contact with pulley as shown.
