Installation Guidelines

Proper installation is critical for maintaining engine performance. Follow these steps:

1. Remove the old belt: Carefully disengage the tensioner and remove the worn belt.
2. Inspect timing components: Check pulleys, gears, and idlers for wear or damage before installing the new belt.
3. Align the belt: Position the 5658XS onto the timing gear set, ensuring correct tooth engagement.
4. Tension adjustment: Use the built‑in tensioner to apply the recommended tension, preventing slippage while avoiding over‑tightening.
5. Verify alignment: Rotate the crankshaft manually and confirm that all camshafts remain in sync with the timing marks.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the belt for cracks, fraying, or glazing every 10,000 miles or as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
• Check tension regularly; a properly tensioned belt should not slip under load.
• Avoid exposure to oil leaks and excessive heat; if contamination occurs, replace immediately.
