1.
Disconnect battery and spark plug wire(s). See Side-Post Battery: Disconnecting the Battery-Gasoline
Vehicles on page 1-3. See Top-Post Battery: Disconnecting the Battery- Gasoline Vehicles on page 1-4.
2.
Access engine compartment.
– Remove seat and rear access panel (if equipped).
– Raise cargo bed (if equipped).
– Use combination of above methods.
3.
Mark a location on belt to repeat tension measurement each time. Use paint pen or permanent marker of
light color.
4.
For Existing Belts Only: Verify current belt tension using Universal Belt Tension Gauge (OTC
recommended) (Figure 19-14, Page 19-12). Proper tension for a used starter/generator belt is 80 to 100 lbf
(356 to 445 N).
– If belt tension is within accepted range, no further action is needed. Connect battery and spark plug wire(s).
See Side-Post Battery: Connecting the Battery-Gasoline Vehicles on page 1-3. See Top-Post Battery:
Connecting the Battery- Gasoline Vehicles on page 1-4.
– If belt tension is not within accepted range, continue procedure. See following NOTE.
NOTE: To expedite procedure for existing belt and avoid need for a pry bar, first install belt tension tool and then
loosen starter/generator mounting hardware.
5.
Tighten starter/generator mounting hardware (4 and 7) finger-tight (Figure 19-12, Page 19-11).
6.
Install belt tension tool (P/N 102570401).
6.1.
Carefully insert pry bar between starter/generator and bracket.
6.2.
Carefully lift starter up until tension tool can be installed as shown over the slotted adjustment bracket
(Figure 19-15, Page 19-12). Note orientation of tension tool on the slotted adjustment bracket and how the
threaded J-bolt is inserted into the slot under the starter/generator mounting ear.
NOTE: In some cases, the threaded J-bolt of the belt tension tool does not have enough length to consistently fit
under the starter/generator mounting ear. Fit can be greatly improved by modifying the tension tool using
the following procedure.
– Remove nut and J-bolt from bracket.
– Grind or cut 3/8 to 1/2 inch (9.5 to 12.7 mm) from bracket as shown to increase the effective length of
the J-bolt (Figure 19-16, Page 19-14).
– Install J-bolt and nut into bracket.
6.3.
Remove pry bar.
