Installation

This is a direct-replacement accessory drive belt suitable for experienced DIY mechanics comfortable with belt routing and tensioner adjustment procedures. Proper belt tension is critical — over- or under-tensioning can cause premature wear or accessory failure. Consult the factory service manual for torque specs and routing diagrams. If you are unfamiliar with belt replacement on the EJ20, professional installation is recommended. No special tools beyond standard hand tools and a belt tension gauge are typically required.
