40 See the image below for proper belt routing of the new longer main serpentine belt supplied with the kit.
Use the factory spring tensioner to apply belt tension. Re-fit the OEM AC belt using the factory spring
tensioner.
41 Install the new top radiator hose supplied with the kit (A). Check for at least 3/8” clearance at point (B).
Some variations in hoses (VF supplies OEM hose) may lead to inadequate clearance which can be
resolved by using a slightly large pulley (C). Please contact VF in the unlikely event that this occurs. Re-fill
and bleed the engine coolant. Re-fit main radiator fan.
