I. 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 ten-

sioner. Push the belt over the top radius of the

water pump pulley and release tensioner. (See

Figs. 7-f, 7-g.)

*J. 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.

*K. 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.

**L. Secure the remote drain hose away from the

belt and other hoses using tie-wraps.

IMPORTANT: It is imperative that the tensioner

does not get overloaded when being

pulled down during belt installation.

Bending of the tensioner may cause

belt throwing/shredding problems

when vehicle is driven at high

speeds.
