B: INSPECTION
1. TIMING BELT
1) Check timing belt teeth for breaks, cracks, and
wear. If any fault is found, replace belt.
2) Check the condition of back side of belt; if any
crack is found, replace belt.
CAUTION:
IBe careful not to let oil, grease or coolant
contact the belt. Remove quickly and thor-
oughly if this happens.
IDo not bend the belt sharply.
Bending radius: h
60 mm (2.36 in) or more

2. AUTOMATIC BELT TENSION
ADJUSTER
1) Visually check oil seals for leaks, and rod ends
for abnormal wear or scratches. If necessary,
replace faulty parts.
CAUTION:
Slight traces of oil at rod's oil seal does not
indicate a problem.
2) Check that the adjuster rod does not move
when a pressure of 294 N (30 kg, 66 lb) is applied
to it. This is to check adjuster rod stiffness.
3) If the adjuster rod is not stiff and moves freely
when applying 294 N (30 kg, 66 lb), check it using
the following procedures:
(1) Slowly press the adjuster rod down to the
end surface of the cylinder. Repeat this motion
2 or 3 times.
(2) With the adjuster rod moved all the way up,
apply a pressure of 294 N (30 kg, 66 lb) to it.
Check adjuster rod stiffness.
(3) If the adjuster rod is not stiff and moves
down, replace the automatic belt tension
adjuster assembly with a new one.
CAUTION:
IAlways use a vertical type pressing tool to
move the adjuster rod down.
IDo not use a lateral type vise.
IPush adjuster rod vertically.

NOTE:
Bleed air from oil line with the help of a co-worker.
1) Remove air chamber.
2) Fit one end of a vinyl tube into the air bleeder
of operating cylinder and put the other end into a
brake fluid container.

3) Slowly depress the clutch pedal and keep it
depressed. Then open the air bleeder to discharge
air together with the fluid.
Release the air bleeder for 1 or 2 seconds. Next,
with the bleeder closed, slowly release the clutch
pedal.

4) Repeat these steps until there are no more air
bubbles in the vinyl tube.CAUTION:
Cover bleeder with waste cloth when loosening
it, to prevent brake fluid from being splashed
over surrounding parts.
