Procedures

1. Remove the generator drive belt and reposition the generator to allow access to the second head bolt from the front on the left head (Figure 2, Item 4).

2. Remove the head bolt and replace it with the bolt (P/N 22510585) and torque to 169 N.m (125 ft. -lbs.)

3. Remove the nut and ground wire from the first position head bolt, stud.

4. Position the rear generator bracket (P/N 22535351) over the head bolt studs. Reinstall the ground wire on top of the brace in the #1 head bolt position and reinstall the nut. Using the nut (P/N 9422300) at the 2nd position head bolt, secure the brace by torquing both nuts to 25 N.m (20 ft. lbs.). (See Figure 2, Item 4)

NOTE: Be sure to install the star washers over and under the terminal end of the cable to ensure a solid ground connection.

5. Position the brace (Figure 2, Item 2) between the new bracket and the generator end frame and start the bolt just removed.

6. Remove all remaining accessory drive belts.

Beginning with VIN #708330, the water pump and generator drive belt were changed in production to reduce the level of the distrubance. The part numbers of the new pulley and belt are:

Part Name New Number Old Number

Pulley 22505009 22532661 Belt 22524186 9433639

Cars with VIN numbers prior to 708330 may require replacement of these parts. If required, replace the original 7 inch water pump pulley with a new 5-1/2 inch pulley (P/N 22505009).

7. Install all belts on pulleys. Be sure to use the two new belts.

NOTE:The new A/C compressor belt is one inch shorter, and is more easily installed by first passing it over the crank pulley behind the balancer, then crossing over the water pump pulley and placing it in the compressor pulley groove. From under the car, slip the belt into the crank pulley groove from behind.

8. Using J23600 belt tension gauge, tension all belts according to the specification chart (Figure 5).

9. Remove the bolt at the manifold end of the brace attached to the A/C compressor bracket and loosen the bolt/screw at the end bracket (Figure 4, Item 11). Install the new brace (P/N 22535495) (Figure 4, Item 10) on top of the existing brace at the manifold and start the new longer bolt (P/N 9439870), but do not tighten at this time.

10. Remove the pivot bolt (Figure 4, Item 5) and install the compressor end of brace (P/N 22535495) on the bolt and reinstall. Install the nut and tighten all fasteners.
