Belt Pulley, Removing And Installing, DENSO: Notes
Different ribbed belt pulley versions may be installed depending on A/C compressor type and engine version. Refer to Parts Information.
Depending on the A/C compressor manufacturer and design, the ribbed belt pulley is not available as a replacement part. Refer to Parts Information.
The belt pulley is sensitive to impact so it must be handled carefully.
If the overload protection of the belt pulley is activated, check the A/C compressor for ease of movement before replacing the belt pulley. Replace an A/C compressor that is not operating smoothly.
If the drive plate overload protection was activated, the belt pulley can be rotated using the outer part of the drive plate so that the A/C compressor shaft and the hex fitting on the drive plate (inner part of the drive plate) do not rotate.
