1 . Following manufacturer's instructions, connect an approved refrigerant recovery/recycling/recharging unit to A/C system and discharge system .
WARNING
Do not discharge/charge the A/C system without proper equipment and training. Damage to the vehicle and personal injury may result.
2. Remove splash shield from under engine.
3. Mark A/C drive belt with direction of rotation . Remove A/C belt tensioner trim cap. See Fig. 34.

Fig. 35 . 4-cylinder engines: Loosen retaining bolt A on tensioner to release drive-belt tension. To increase tension, rotate pulley in direction of arrow, then tighten bolt A.
5. On 6-cylinder engines: Release tension on A/C belt by turning tensioner pulley clockwíse (against spring tension).See Fig. 36.
