2. Install wrench (A) on drive belt auto tensioner pulley bolt, move
in the direction of arrow (loosening direction of tensioner) as
shown.
CAUTION:
Never place hand in a location where pinching may occurif the holding tool accidentally comes off.
Never loosen the hexagonal part in center of auto ten- sioner pulley (1) (Never turn it clockwise). If turned clock-
wise, the complete auto tensioner must be replaced as a
unit, including the pulley.
3. Under the above condition, insert a metallic bar (B) of approxi- mately 6 mm (0.24 in) in diameter (hexagonal bar wrench shown
as example in the figure) through the holding boss to lock auto tensioner pulley arm.
4. Remove drive belt.
INSTALLATION
Note the following item, and install in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
Check drive belts are securely installed around all pulleys.
Check drive belts are correctly engaged with the pulley groove.
Check for engine oil and engine coolant ar e not adhered drive belts and pulley groove.

INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Turn crankshaft pulley clockwise several times to equalize tension between each pulley, and then confirm
tension of drive belts at indicator (notch on fixed side) is within the possible use range. Refer to EM-20,
"Exploded View".

CAUTION:
Be careful that seal ring do es not exceed the groove portion
of fuel injector.
d. Insert injector seal drift set [SST: KV101197S0 (—)] (A) to injec- tor and rotate clockwise and counterclockwise by 90 ° while
pressing seal ring to fit it.
NOTE:
Compress seal ring, because this operation is for rectifying
stretch of seal ring caused by installation and for preventing
sticking when inserting injector into cylinder head.
2. Install O-ring and backup ring to fuel injector. When handing new O-ring and backup ring, paying attention to the following caution items:
CAUTION:
Handle O-ring with bare hands. Never wear gloves.
Lubricate O-ring with new engine oil.
Never clean O-ring with solvent.
Check that O-ring and its mating pa rt are free of foreign material.
When installing O-ring, be careful not to scratch it with tool or fingernails. Also be careful not to
twist or stretch O-ring. If O-ring was stretched wh ile it was being attached, never insert it quickly
into fuel tube.
Insert new O-ring straight into fu el rail. Never decenter or twist it.
