Q: How Should Drivebelts Be Inspected and Replaced?
A: The drivebelts should be inspected periodically for wear, cuts, and contamination by oil, gasoline, or coolant, as well as for signs of glazing, indicating improper adjustment. To replace a drivebelt, loosen the bolts and push the pivoting component away from the belt until it can be removed. Do not pry on the pulley as it might damage the new belt. Install and adjust it if needed.
