Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Continental K49303B serpentine belt drive component kit on a Scion tC, ensure the engine is cool and the vehicle is securely supported. Remove the old belt and tensioner carefully, noting the belt routing. Install the new tensioner first, then route the new belt according to the manufacturer’s diagram.
