Pump Belt Adjustment

1. Apply a force of 100 N (10 kg, 22 Ib) and measure the deflection between the P/S pump and the crankshaft pulleys.

Deflection:
Used Belt: 8.0-12.0 mm (0.31-0.47 in) New belt: 6.0-9.5 mm (0.24-0.37 in)

NOTE: If there are cracks or any damage evident on the belt, replace it with a new one.

Measure with Belt Tension Gauge:
Attach the belt tension gauge to the belt and measure the tension of the belt.

Tension:
Used Belt: 350-500 N (35-50 kg, 77-110 Ib) New Belt: 500-700 N (50-70 kg, 110-154lb)

NOTE:
•   If there are cracks or any damage evident on the belt, replace it with a new one.
•   See the instructions for the tension gauge.

2. Loosen the P/S pump mounting bolts.

3. Turn the adjusting bolt to get the proper belt tension, then retighten the bolts.

4. Start the engine and turn the steering wheel from lock-to-lock several times, then stop the engine and recheck the deflection of the belt.
