2. The illustration to the right shows the two idler pulleys that must be inspected and properly tightened.

1. Remove the Polyester Cording serpentine belt and discard.

3. Inspect each of the idler pulley’s washer and make sure they are seated properly against the pulley. If the washer is not seated properly, the tightening of the bolt will be incorrect and may cause the bolt and pulley to loosen up.

5. Once the washer is properly seated into each idler pulley, and the bolt is finger tight, you are ready to final torque each bolt.

6. Torque each idler pulley bolt to 40 lb. ft. (54 N.m).

Note: If the idler pulley bolts need to be loosened to properly seat the washer, perform the tightening procedure on one pulley at a time.

4. If the washer is not seated properly, slightly loosen the idler pulley center bolt. This will allow you to position the washer correctly into the idler pulley. While holding the washer in place, tighten the idler pulley bolt by hand. This will ensure the washer stays properly seated when the bolt is torqued to specifications.

7. The illustration to the right shows the ONE idler pulley that MUST be replaced and properly tightened.

8. Remove the idler pulley, bolt and washer for replacement and discard.

9. Install shim, P/N R169066, onto the pulley boss on the idler bracket.

13. Once the bolts are properly torqued, use a Sharpie or paint pen to mark the head of the bolt indicating it has been torqued to specifications.

10. Apply removable threadlocking compound to the new pulley bolt, P/N 98447016, found in Kit RF065040-63.

11. Install new pulley (P/N R065063), new washer (P/N R096145) and new bolt (P/N 98447016), found in Kit RF065040-63.

12. Follow Steps 4-6 for proper installation and tightening.
