  1. Locate the belt routing diagram for your vehicle's engine. This shows the path of the belt and location of pulleys.
  2. Locate the automatic tensioner pulley. This is often near the crankshaft pulley.
  3. Following tool instructions, insert tool into hole in tensioner pulley and rotate to decompress tensioner spring. This provides slack in the belt.
  4. With tension relieved, slip old belt off pulleys.
  5. Position the new belt over the accessory drive pulleys, such as the air conditioning, power steering, or alternator.
  6. Place the installation tool over the crankshaft pulley. Position the tool so that the wedge-shaped removed side fits between the belt and pulley.
  7. Use a hand ratchet to turn the crankshaft in the direction that will rotate the pulley. Guide the belt onto the pulley and ensure that the belt ribs are properly aligned.
  8. Slowly release tension on tool until spring tension is applied to belt. Remove tool.
  9. Confirm belt is seated correctly on all pulleys, especially the crankshaft and tensioner pulleys.
  10. Rotate engine via crank pulley clockwise twice to ensure proper operation.
  11. Start engine and check that belt is aligned and rotating properly.
  12. Test operation of AC system and other belt driven accessories.

ATTENTION: It's not recommended to reuse an old stretch belt as they tend to lose tension with age.
