DRIVE BELT (EBS)
Belt Removal
1. Remove outer PVT cover as described in “PVT
SYSTEM SERVICE - PVT Disassembly”.
2. Mark the drive belt direction of rotation so that it can
be installed in the same direction.
NOTE: Belt is normally positioned so that part
numbers are easily read.
3. Insert the belt removal tool (PN 2877408) into the
driven clutch as shown (tool included with vehicle’s
tool kit).
NOTE: Make sure the tool is square with the
moveable sheave surface of the driven clutch.
4. Rotate the tool towards the clutch to open the
sheaves.
5. Walk the belt out of the driven clutch and drive
clutch. Remove the belt from the vehicle.
Belt Inspection
1. Inspect belt for hour glassing (extreme circular wear
in at least one spot and on both sides of the belt).
Hour glassing occurs when the drive train does not
move and the drive clutch engages the belt.
2. Inspect belt for loose cords, missing cogs, cracks,
abrasions, thin spots, or excessive wear. Compare
belt measurements with a new drive belt. Replace if
necessary.
3. Belts with thin spots, burn marks, etc., should be
replaced to eliminate noise, vibration, or erratic PVT
operation. See the troubleshooting chart at the end
of this chapter for possible causes.
Belt Installation
NOTE: Be sure to install belt in the same direction
as it was removed.
1. With the belt removal tool installed (PN 2877408),
loop the belt over the drive clutch and over the driven
clutch.
2. Rotate the driven clutch and walk the belt into the
clutch.
3. Remove the belt removal tool from driven clutch
4. Rotate / spin the driven clutch and belt approximately
5-7 times to properly seat the belt in the driven
clutch.
5. Install outer PVT cover as described in “PVT
SYSTEM SERVICE - PVT Assembly”.
6. See “PVT Break-In (Drive Belt / Clutches)”, page 6.5
