Flex Bar on Tensioner - V-belt and Fan Drive Belt
4. Rotate the flex-bar as shown in the
diagram to relieve belt tension.
5. With the belt tensioner pressure
relieved, remove the poly V-belt
from the pulleys.
The tensioner can be
temporarily blocked with a
0.16-0.2 inch (4-5 mm) thick pin
(bore). This facilitates removal
and installation of the poly V-
belt.
6. After removing the belt, carefully
allow the belt tensioner to spring
back to the stop (if it had not been
temporarily blocked).
7. Inspect the pulleys for damage,
rust, and grease deposits. Clean or
replace as necessary.
