m50 drive belt

Recommended Posts

How does the front drive belt go on?

I have tried it every way I can think of and it's loose as f*ck, tensioner pulley does nothing. I only pulled it off cos It was too tight to fit around the PS pump so took the whole thing off to start from scratch.

Ok, so how do you put it on that way? I can't get it around all 4 pulleys + the middle one, let alone the tensioner too.

if you brought it from repco, thier catalouge lists the wrong belt. you need either the one size bigger or the one size smaller. At least that happened to me

Whats the easiest way to get it on?

Reset the tensioner position, put the belt on and release the tensioner...not hard to do

I couldn't get it over the 4 pulleys then across over the middle one and that was with the tensioner off.

Maybe the pump isn't on properly or something.. Don't see how though.

Have you loaded the tensioner so that it can tension the belt once it's released ?
