Belt Adjustment

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Infiniti G35 and 2003 Infiniti G35. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Inspect belts for cracks, fraying, wear and oil. If necessary, replace.
    2. CAUTION: When checking belt deflection or tension immediately after installation, first adjust it to the specified value. Then, after turning crankshaft two turns or more, re-adjust to the specified value to avoid variation in deflection between pulleys.
  2. Inspect drive belt deflection or tension at a point on the belt midway between pulleys:
    • Inspection should be done only when engine is cold, or over 30 minutes after engine is stopped.
    • Measure belt tension with tension gauge (SST: BT3373-F or equivalent) at points marked shown in Figure .
    • When measuring deflection, apply 22 lbs. (10 kg.) at the marked point.
    • Adjust if belt deflection exceeds the limit or if belt tension is not within specifications. See DRIVE BELTS under SPECIFICATIONS in GENERAL INFORMATION.
