3. Inspect the drive belt. Look for signs of cracking,
separation, cuts, or other damage. See Figure
5-25.
4. If any abnormality is found, replace the drive belt.

7. Loosen the two alternator mounting bolts (C). See
8. To increase tension, move the alternator away
9. Tighten two alternator mounting bolts.
10. Check the drive belt tension. Repeat the
midpoint (B) between the pulleys. See Figure
5-26.
• Apply specified pressure to the drive belt at its
midpoint. At the same time, measure the
amount of deflection of the drive belt at its
midpoint. Deflection should be within
specification.
