   REMOVE V-RIBBED BELT

   
   

   1. Prepare a clean durable piece of cloth and fold it several times.

      Tip:

      Fold the cloth several times to make it thicker.

   2. 

      Pass the cloth under the V-ribbed belt between the crankshaft pulley assembly and engine water pump assembly as shown in the illustration.

      Note:

      Position the cloth so that the part closest to the engine is longer.

   3. 

      Slightly rotate the crankshaft pulley assembly clockwise so that the cloth is pulled between the V-ribbed belt and engine water pump assembly.

      Note:

      Do not allow the cloth to be pulled further than the top center of the engine water pump assembly.

   4. 

      Fold the cloth over the V-ribbed belt and pull it as shown in the illustration while gradually rotating the crankshaft pulley assembly clockwise.

      Note:

      Pull the cloth until the upper part of the V-ribbed belt comes off the engine water pump assembly.

   5. 

      Check that the upper part of the V-ribbed belt is off the engine water pump assembly, then rotate the crankshaft pulley assembly clockwise to remove V-ribbed belt.
