- The tensioner must be installed at room temperature -- allow the engine and tensioner to stabilise to the same ambient temperature for proper belt tension adjustment
- Inspect the serpentine belt for cracks, glazing, or wear. Replace belt simultaneously for optimal performance
- Check all other idler pulleys and accessories for smooth operation
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal
- Rotate the tensioner arm using a breaker bar or serpentine belt tool to relieve belt tension
- Remove the old serpentine belt from the pulleys
- Remove the tensioner mounting bolt (M10x60 12-point socket bolt)
- Remove the old tensioner assembly
- Clean the mounting surface thoroughly
- Install the new tensioner and torque mounting bolt to manufacturer's specified torque settings (refer to vehicle-specific workshop manual)
- Route the new serpentine belt according to the belt routing diagram
- Rotate the tensioner arm and slip the belt over the final pulley
- Start the engine and let it idle for 2-3 minutes to verify smooth operation and check for unusual noises
- Inspection: Every 50,000 km / 12 months. Listen for squealing, check belt condition, and inspect for visible damage
- Replacement: Recommended at 160,000 km or earlier if symptoms appear
- Note: Recommended to be replaced any time accessory belt work is performed
