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.

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.
