Note:  
Observe previously marked direction of rotation of belt and that it is 
seated correctly on the pulley.  -  Counterhold pulley for viscous fan using 3212 spanner wrench and 
remove viscous fan using 3312 open-end spanner (left thread). 
-  Carefully lift out viscous fan.
    
-  To loosen ribbed belt, turn tensioner clockwise using 17 mm box 
wrench until two holes are aligned (arrows). Counterhold in position 
using 3204 drift. 
-  Remove ribbed belt.

CAUTION! 
Before removing ribbed belt, note direction of rotation with chalk or 
felt-tip marker. Reversing the direction of rotation of a used belt can 
destroy the belt. When installing the ribbed belt, make sure it is 
seated correctly on the pulley. 
Notes:  -  Install 3242 crankshaft holder into sealing plug opening.
-  Remove tensioner for ribbed belt.
-  Remove center and right toothed belt guards.
The toothed belt tensioner is oil dampened. Compress it by slowly 
applying constant pressure. Use spring clamp from 2024A.
    
-  Using 8 mm hex wrench, turn toothed belt tensioning roller -1- counter-
clockwise, opposite direction shown (arrow), until tensioning lever -2- 
compresses tensioner -3- so that spring clamp (2 mm dia.) can be 
inserted into bore and lifter.

1) Always replace the center bolt.  2) Two turns of 90  are permissible.   -  Using 8 mm hex wrench, turn toothed belt tensioner roller -1- counter-
clockwise, opposite direction shown (arrow) until tensioning lever -2- 
compresses tensioner -3- so that spring clamp can be removed and 
then remove clamp. 
-  Before starting engine, pre-load timing tensioning roller as follows:
  -  Using a torque wrench with 8 mm hex bit, apply tension to toothed 
belt clockwise in direction shown (arrow) until a torque of 15 Nm is 
attained. This ensures tensioner has expanded completely and is 
properly engaging toothed belt. Component
