Installation Notes and Tips

Use the correct removal and installation tool for the specific engine application and pulley type to avoid damage. Check accessory pulley alignment with a straightedge or laser alignment tool if a belt alignment issue is suspected. The replacement pulley should be pressed on until the hub is flush with the end of the shaft for correct alignment with adjacent accessory pulleys. Inspect belt condition and tension during service, since cracked, stretched, or deteriorated belts can slip or fail.
