Clamp the auto-tensioner (A) by using two 8 mm bolts (B) and a vise (C) as shown. Do not clamp the auto-tensioner itself.

Set the torque wrench (D) on the pulley bolt, and align it as shown.

Align the indicator (E) on the tensioner base with Max. belt position mark (F) on the tensioner arm by using the torque wrench, and measure the torque. If the torque value is out of specification, replace the auto-tensioner.

NOTE: If the indicator exceeds the Max. belt position mark, recheck the torque.

Auto-tensioner Spring Torque:

33.1−40.5 N·m (3.38−4.13 kgf·m, 24.4−29.9 lbf·ft)
