Lock the tensioner in the loaded position with an M10 (Figure
3.5).
□
Remove the idler from the VR main bracket.
□
Loosen the two bottom bolts on the side of the air conditioning
compressor.

Insert the short M12 bolt through the rear mount. Place the
bracket in position on the engine so that you can see how it will
mount once the compressor has been attached (Figure 3.3.
Angle the front of the bracket up during installation to hook the
front stud over the oil pan on the front of the engine.
