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.

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
