Belt dressing if the belt is in good condition. Make sure that it is not a pulley squeaking and if the belt is in bad shape replace it.

How do you loosen a serpentine belt on a Lincoln LS?
as new as the car is it would have a belt tensioner pulley...its a pulley with a spring loaded pulley to self tightn the belt...if u take the right size of socket for at the pulley and turn the pulley down...but not by unscewing the bolt at the pulley...by using the bolt as something the to hang on to the pulley so when u turn it the pulley will retract and losen the belt to take off...very easy but takes some muscle....if it doesnt have a belt tensioner pulley it would be the alternater that will have to be moved so the belt losens....if that's the case have when u put the new belt on you have to make sure the belt is tight enogh or to tight....the belt will have play in it but with strong applided movement...also the serpentine belt doesnt have to be timed
How do you install serpentine belt for a 1997 ford crown vic lx 4.6l sefi v8?
The serpentine belt can be replaced by finding the belt tension pulley. This pulley has a bolt in the center and when you turn it the belt will loosen and you can take it off the pulleys. Look for a diagram sticker under the hood or make your own so you remember how the new belt wraps around the pulleys.
How do you put in a serpentine belt for 1996 beretta?
put the belt on all the pulleys except the tension pulley, insert a 3/8" ratchet into the side of the tension pulley(there will be a square slot), turn it till you can slip belt over the pulley, and once you do, let off of the pulley and it should stay on there, provided you routed it right. Correction: I'll make this a lot easier. Go to autozone.com and look up your make and model. They have serpentine belt diagrams for the 4 and 6 cylinder berettas.
Why would the car be smoking and smelling like burning rubber after changing the serpentine belt?
It sounds like you either did not get the belt on a pulley all the way or the idler pulley is frozen up. Take the belt off and make sure the idler, or tensioner pulley, turns freely. Reinstall the belt and make sure you have it on all of the pulleys correctly.
Will faulty alternator cause serpentine belt to melt on pulley in a 1992 cutlass ciera station wagon?
If I am understanding correctly, it sounds like a pulley may be bound up. Thereby causing the belt to rub and make alot of friction thus causing melting. It could be any pulley in the serpentine system. Remove the belt and feel all pulleys for any play.

How do you change the serpentine belt on a Dodge Caravan?
What you need is a ratchet 15mm socket. Losen the idler then slide off the serpentine belt off. There should be a diagram for routing the belt if not draw a diagram before removing it. Replace the serpentine belt crank it 2 or 3 times but don't start the engine. The 4th time start the engine this time the as the engine is idling eyeball the belt agaisnt the tensioner idler and crank pulley make sure the serpentine is algined. A Note: Make sure that you have identified the tensioner pulley as apposed to the idler pulley. With the 15mm socket on the tensioner pulley's bolt, rotate it clockwise and this will release the tension on the belt, or in the case of installing a new serpentine belt, allow you to get it where it belongs. This is the case on my 1997 Dodge Caravan, and probably other year makes. Best of luck- Bryan 1993 Dodge Grand Caravan: Rotating the tensioner pulley's bolt clockwise was the way to replace my belt. By the way, the tensioner pulley in my van was one of the smaller ones in the middle of the whole system, attached to a silver arm coming off the tensioner. Good luck...
How do you change serpentine belt on a 2005 Ford Freestar?
First you will need a special serpentine belt tool since you will never be able to fit a regular wrench in the idler tension pulley. Once you have this tool you heave on the pulley enough to release tension from the belt and slip it off the pulleys. Make sure you note how the new belt weaves through the pulleys first, and then reinstall it.
Routing of a serpentine belt on a 2000 leganza?
I just did one today for my uncles 2000 Leganza 2.2. The trick is that the belt goes around the tensioner then the crankshaft pulley. It should make an s from the bottom of the alt. pulley to the tensioner then to the crank.
