Removal
Install a 16mm (5/8-inch) closed end wrench for 4.9L and 7.5L engines or a 15mm (19/32-inch) closed end wrench for 5.0L, 5.8L and 7.3L engines on the tensioner pulley bolt and lift the tensioner arm away from the belt.
Remove belt. Release tensioner arm slowly. Do not allow arm to snap back after the belt is removed because this may damage the tensioner.
Installation
Install closed end wrench on the tensioner pulley bolt and rotate the tensioner arm clockwise for the 4.9L and counterclockwise for the 5.0L, 5.8L, 7.3L and 7.5L engines.
NOTE: Ensure correct seating on all pulleys. One revolution of the engine (6007) with an incorrectly seated belt may snap tensile members in the belt.
Install drive belt (8620) over pulleys making sure all belt ribs are correctly seated in the pulley grooves. Release tensioner.
