How do you release tension on the belt of a 1999 Ford Expedition?
use breaker bar with square drive in the square hole. takes 2 people to do safely, as belt is under a lot of tension A further suggestion. I use an 18" long, 1" (id) black iron pipe as an extension for my breaker bar. It makes a world of difference and one person can then de-tension the belt and slip the belt over the alternator pulley.
How do you relieve the belt tension on a '98 Ford Expedition?
Hey Chris==Pull up on the belt and you can see how the idler puller must move to release tension on the belt. The schematic for the belt should be on the fan shroud. If it isn't, draw a schematic before removing the old belt. Don't rely on memory. Goodluck Joe A further suggestion. The belt tensioner uses a 1/2" breaker bar to de-tension the serpentine belt. I still had problems releasing the tension, so I used an 18" long, 1" (id) black iron pipe as an extension for my breaker bar. It makes a world of difference and one person can then de-tension the belt and remove or reinstall the belt over the alternator pulley.

The tensioner does not need removing. It just needs to be swung out (clockwise) of the way to reduce the tension on the belt so the belt can slip over the pulleys. The tensioner has a slot, towards its end, for a 3/8 drive in it. Place the drive into that slot and you get the leverage to overcome the tension in the spring.

How do you replace timing belt 1999 ford ranger?
very simple, there is only one belt , a serpatene belt, and you use a 10 inch ratchet and short socket head to release the tension on the tension pulley, it is only going to go one way, the belt slips off, there is a diagram on the front shroud, in front of the radiator, that shows the belts direction around the pulleys, just slip this around and then pull back on the tension pulley, slip the belt over the last pulley located at the top, ( easier to get to ) and then release.Addition: If he has a 1999 4-cylinder Ranger, he has a timing belt. This is not the same as a serpentine belt and it takes more than just a ratchet handle to change it.
