Belt Replacement/Debris Removal
If a belt fails, always clean any debris
from the duct and from the clutch and
engine compartments when replacing
the belt.
WARNING!
Failure to remove ALL debris
when replacing the belt could result in
vehicle damage, loss of control and
severe injury or death.
1. Allow hot components to cool
before performing this
procedure.
2. Remove the engine access cover
and thoroughly clean all debris
from the aluminum debris
bracket and from the engine
compartment.
3. Remove the clutch cover screws
and open the clutch cover. (It
does not have to be removed
from the vehicle.) Remove all
debris wrapped in and around the
PVT system.
Tip:
Use the shock/clutch tool from the
tool kit to slightly open the sheaves
to aid in debris removal and belt
installation.
