Checking Drive Belts

ALS000DE

WARNING:

Be sure to perform when the engine is stopped.
1.

Inspect belts for cracks, fraying, wear and oil. If necessary, replace.

2.

Inspect drive belt deflection or tension at a point on 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 (BT3373-F or equiv-
alent) at points marked   shown in the figure.

When measuring deflection, apply 98 N (10 kg, 22 lb) at the 
marked point.

Adjust if belt deflection exceeds the limit or if belt tension is
not within specifications.

CAUTION:

When checking belt deflection or tension immediately after installation, first adjust it to the
specified value. Then, after turning the crankshaft two turns or more, re-adjust to the specified
value to avoid variation in deflection between pulleys.

Tighten idler pulley lock nut by hand and measure deflec-
tion or tension without looseness.

Belt Deflection and Tension

*: If belt tension gauge cannot be installed at check points shown, check drive belt tension at different location on the belt.

Tension Adjustment

REMOVAL

1.

Remove inner and outer balance weights from the road wheel.

CAUTION:

Be careful not to scratch the road wheel during removal.

2.

Using releasing agent, remove double-faced adhesive tape from the road wheel.

CAUTION:

Be careful not to scratch the road wheel during removal.

After removing double-faced adhesive tape, wipe clean traces of releasing agent from the road
wheel.

WHEEL BALANCE ADJUSTMENT 

If a tire balance machine has adhesion balance weight mode settings and drive-in weight mode setting,
select and adjust a drive-in weight mode suitable for road wheels.

1.

Set road wheel on wheel balancer using the center hole as a guide. Start the tire balance machine.

2.

When inner and outer unbalance values are shown on the wheel balancer indicator, multiply outer unbal-
ance value by 5/3 to determine balance weight that should be used. Select the outer balance weight with
a value closest to the calculated value above and install it to the designated outer position of, or at the
designated angle in relation to the road wheel.

CAUTION:

Do not install the inner balance weight before installing the outer balance weight.

Before installing the balance weight, be sure to clean the
mating surface of the road wheel.

Indicated unbalance value 

×

 5/3 = balance weight to be installed

Calculation example:
23 g (0.81 oz) 

×

 5/3 = 38.33 g (1.35 oz) = 40 g (1.41 oz) balance

weight (closer to calculated balance weight value)
Note that balance weight value must be closer to the calculated
balance weight value.
Example:
37.4 = 35 g (1.23 oz)
37.5 = 40 g (1.41 oz)

a.

Install balance weight in the position shown in the figure at right.

b.

When installing balance weight to road wheels, set it into the
grooved area on the inner wall of the road wheel as shown in the
figure so that the balance weight center is aligned with the wheel
balancer indication position (angle).

CAUTION:

Always use genuine Nissan adhesion balance weights.

Balance weights are unreusable; always replace with new
ones.

Do not install more than three sheets of balance weight.

c.

If calculated balance weight value exceeds 50 g (1.76 oz), install
two balance weight sheets in line with each other (as shown in
the figure).

CAUTION:

Do not install one balance weight sheet on top of another.

3.

Start wheel balancer again.

4.

Install drive-in balance weight on inner side of road wheel in the
wheel balancer indication position (angle).

CAUTION:

Do not install more than two balance weights.

5.

Start wheel balancer. Make sure that inner and outer residual
unbalance values are 10 g (0.35 oz) each or below.

If either residual unbalance value exceeds 10 g (0.35 oz), repeat installation procedures.
