Installation
Installation is carried out in the reverse order of removal, taking into account the following.
Attention:
- When installing the automatic tensioner, be careful not to touch or damage the water pump pulley.
- If you have caused damage that is more severe than peeling paint, replace the automatic drive belt tensioner.
- Do not transfer the pulley from the old automatic tensioner to the new one.
