    Note
    • Hold the SST by hand until it is lodges between the power steering oil pump pulley and power steering oil pump drive belt.

  (2) Turn the crankshaft clockwise to remove the power steering oil pump drive belt.
    Note
    • If there is power steering oil pump drive belt damage and cracks, replace the power steering oil pump drive belt.

3. Install the power steering oil pump drive belt.

  (1) Install the SST according to the following steps.
    1) Loosen the clamp adapter nut of the SST.
      Note
      • There is no need to remove the clamp adapter nut completely when positioning the SST on the power steering oil pump pulley.
    2) Position the SST on the power steering oil pump pulley with the clamp adapter in one of the holes of the pulley.
