BELT REPLACEMENT / DEBRIS REMOVAL
If a belt fails, always clean any debris from the outlet duct and from the clutch
and engine compartments when replacing the belt.
• Wiggling and rocking the cover will help it move around the bolts on the
clutch towers.
• Ensure the clutch cover bolts aren't catching on other parts.
• Rotating the drive clutch slightly by hand can provide more clearance in
some cases.
• For easiest removal, ensure the vehicle is sitting on the ground at normal
ride height or lower, which will provide more clearance between the cover
and the shock absorber. Turning the drive clutch slightly by hand can also
help provide more room for removal.
• If reinstalling the belt, reference the print on the belt to reinstall in the same
direction.
1. Allow hot components to cool
before performing this
procedure.
2. Remove rear seats.
3. Remove the engine access
panel.
4. Thoroughly clean ALL
DEBRIS from the engine
compartment.
5. Loosen the clamp
retaining the PVT inlet duct to
the outer clutch cover.
