Tighten three bolts in small increments to carefully draw the two pulleys together. When pulleys are fully seated, back bolts o a full turn and tighten with a torque wrench to 12 ft-lb. If you are having trouble trying to seat the pulleys, placing them in hot water for 10-15 minutes prior to installation.

Re-install accessory drive belt and re-connect battery to complete installation. When restarting vehicle, make sure the pulleys are properly aligned and there are no unusual sounds before taking the car for a drive.
