GENERATOR (WATER PUMP) BELT
BELT TENSION INSPECTION
1) Inspect belt cracks, cuts, deformation, wear and cleanliness.
2) Check belt for tension. Belt is in proper tension when it deflects
12 to 15 mm (0.47 – 0.59 in.) under thumb pressure (1) (about
10 kg or 22 lb.).
Belt tension “a” : 6 – 7 mm (0.24 – 0.28 in.) as deflection
NOTE:
When replacing belt with a new one, adjust belt tension to
5 – 6 mm (0.20 – 0.24 in.).
3) If belt is too tight or too loose, loosen adjusting bolt (2) and pivot
bolts (3) and adjust it to proper tension by displacing generator
(4) position.
4) Tighten generator adjusting bolt and pivot bolts.
Tightening Torque
(a): 22 N·m (2.2 kg-m, 16.0 lb-ft)
(b): 50 N·m (5.0 kg-m, 36.5 lb-ft)
5) Connect negative cable at battery terminal.
REMOVAL
1) Disconnect negative cable at battery.
2) Remove front bumper.
3) Loosen generator adjusting bolt (1) and generator pivot bolts
(2).
4) Slacken belt (3) by displacing generator and then remove it.
INSTALLATION
1) Install belt to water pump pulley, crankshaft pulley and genera-
tor pulley.
2) Adjust belt tension.
3) Tighten water pump belt adjusting bolt and pivot bolts.
4) Connect negative cable at battery.
