Pump Belt; Measurement Without Belt Tension Gauge - Honda CR-V 1997 Service Manual

Inspection and Adjustment
Pump Belt
When using a new belt, first adjust the deflection or ten-
sion to the values for the new belt, then readjust the
deflection or tension to the values for the used belt after
running engine for five minutes.
Inspection
Note these items during inspection:
• If there are cracks or any damage evident on the belt,
replace
it
with a new one.
• Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the tension
gauge.
1. Remove the PIS reservoir from the bracket, and set
it aside.
2. Attach the belt tension gauge to the belt with the
gauge face toward the engine, and measure the ten-
sion of the belt.
3. Remove the belt tension gauge carefully to avoid
hitting the gauge reset lever.

2. Adjust the belt tension by moving the power steer-
ing pump with a 1/2" drive breaker bar to obtain the
proper belt tension, then retighten the mounting
bolt and lock bolt.
3. Start the engine and turn the steering wheel from
lock-to-Iock several times, then stop the engine and
recheck the deflection of the belt.
