H. After the bracket has been fully secured (the belt
should be properly routed around/under all pulleys
except for the water pump), use a 1/2" breaker
bar or ratchet to release the belt tension. Push
the belt over the top radius of the water pump
pulley, underneath the crank pulley, over the top
of the tensioner pulley and release the tensioner
(see Fig. 8.1-e).
I. Route the oil drain hose down to the oil pan tube
previously installed. The hose must be routed
downhill, free from dips and kinks. Trim hose end
if necessary, slide onto the drain tube and secure
with #8 hose clamp. Support fitting in oil pan with
a wrench while tightening the drain tube fitting.
J. Route the oil feed hose next to the drain hose,
down to the feed fitting and secure. Use tie wraps
to fasten the lines together.
K. Reinstall the factory coolant reservoir and se-
cure.
IMPORTANT: It is imperative that the tensioner does
not get overloaded when being pulled
down during belt installation. Bend-
ing of the tensioner may cause belt
throwing/shredding problems when
vehicle is driven at high speeds.
